So good

Just love my starling bank the app is fantastic I could not bank without it now. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The best for security and transparency

I work in cybersecurity and chose Starling Bank for its card controls. Unlike most other banks, you can not only freeze your card via the app, but also enable and disable certain features with a tap - such as contactless, ATM, magstripe payments or online payments. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Big things easy.

Too many times we are told or are lead to believe that big things are necessarily complicated. I love it when this received wisdom is dashed, Starling for me does this beautifully. Makes banking and budgeting a pleasure. Well Done! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Fast, effective and friendly service

I had to contact Starling about a payment that went awry. My query was answered quickly, efficiently and with a nice warmth from the staff. Issue was resolved quickly and all from the comfort of my home. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So easy

Anything you need is available and quick and easy. Stopping a card, making an international payment, paying in a cheque online. Fantastic bank, wouldn't be without them! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy to use

It's easy to open an account with Starling (I have a current account, joint account and business account) which I could open from the comfort of my own home. It's easy to use the app which makes banking easy. I like the spend review and the simple categories for tracking spend. All around, I don't have any complaints about Starling! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Me and my family all use starling Bank. It straight forward no hidden fees or charges like a lot of other bank's I've used. It's great. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Top bank!

Everything a bank should be

Starling Bank exemplifies what a modern bank should be: Everything I need is easy, seamless, free and integrated. No more traipsing to my local branch to open an account, or to pay in a cheque. Super secure features such as location-based fraud detection. Flexible savings pots. I love it! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
