Great banking

5
I switched around a year ago, I love using the app it's so simple to use. All the features are really useful for managing my money. I love being able to deposit cheques through my phone and depositing cash at my local post office is so much easier than trudging to my old branch in town. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Helped in loads of ways

5
Starling has helped me enormously; my finances have never been in a better position, in part because I can now see where my money is going and in part because I use the Spaces to save regularly towards various goals. Any time I've had a question I've also always got help very quickly. All round, brilliant product! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Smooth switching into Starling

5
The process of opening my current account was very smooth and simple, and I am delighted with the service and features. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Starling is flying high above the rest!

I love this bank. I've had high street accounts and also Monzo in the past but Starling puts all those to shame. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

First Class Banking

5
A friend told me about Starling and I decided to try it for myself and open an account. OMG what an amazing bank. So easy to use and you’re kept informed immediately after every transaction. Great for using abroad without the worry of carrying cash around. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A revelation

5
Transferred from one of the major banks after being exposed to fraud and dissatisfied with the way it was dealt with. Starling recommended by a friend and though initially sceptical haven’t looked back since joining. The app layout, features and instant card/and anti fraud controls are simple to use and work well along with the saving spaces which are again simple to set up and offer flexibility with funds. I love Starling and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great bank, no qualms

A slick app/webapp make it a joy to use, but extra budgeting features would be useful - I currently use Starling *for* budgeting Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

smart and simple

Love the current account including the clever Euro account. One card for both accounts, with the bank picking the right account for payments based on currency. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The friendly Bank

5
Since joining Starling I have used my card in Singapore, Tasmania Australia and New Zealand also on cruise ships Starling kept me up to date as to what I was spending on and confirming the amount which is a great reassurance when you far from home Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
