The easiest bank to deal with

5
Starling are by far the easiest of all the new online banks to deal with... Still though offer a wealth of features if you choose to explore them. Good luck and continue offering the service you have done up to now Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

EASY TO USE

5
Great app keeping control of your money at your fingertips...The added bonus of a linked euro account for managing costs abroad. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great Bank

5
A fantastic experience since joining Starling.... have a HSBC account which have had for over 30 years but seriously thinking transferring all my banking to Starling Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best bank I've ever banked with

5
From the start it was simple and straightforward. It's what I think I've always been looking for in a bank - no tricks or traps or need to telephone, with the inevitable attempts to upsell. Convenient. The only possible fault I can find is that the debit card doesn't seem to work with "pay at the pump" in petrol stations. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent

Good customer services, easy to use, travel friendly, excellent somes it up! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So good

5
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

5
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.

5
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

5
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

5
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
