Never a complaint

Easy App, secure banking, option of extra cards for family, just perfect Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Super bank

I just love starling and all its features and benefits. Better than any one of my high street banks. Highly recommended for everyone. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great rates

Easy to use, great currency exchange rates. A thoroughly modern bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Super streamlined banking

Whether it’s opening a brand new account, requesting new cards, paying in cheques or setting up savings spaces... nothing is a hassle - it’s all so quick and simple. So much functionality in the banking app. I don’t think anything has been missed out with Starling. I’d never bank the old way again. Starling is definitely the best bank out there. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

New Customer

The new app and functions available made me switch from Halifax and the fact I’m notified about everything happening in my account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Starling for Foriegn travel

My wife & 1 first used Starling when we took an extended holiday to Singapore (3 days) New Zealand (15 days) & around Australia (88 days). Starling bank current account was superb & we used it all the time in all 3 countries to pay for hotels meals out & tourist venues & to withdraw cash with our Starling bank Mastercard debit card. It gave us extremely favourable rates of exchange & pretty much instant notifications of the sterling equivalent to our iPad Starling App. I couldn't rate it highly enough. We budgeted quite a large sum to finance the trip which we put most into a Starling savings a/c which gave us some interest whilst not used. We then transferred money from Savings to our current when necessary. It was excellent I couldn't rate it highly enough for travelling aboard without needing to take large amounts of foreign currency when we can travel again after the pandemic is over.

Modern, simple and secure

From switching 18 months ago to everyday operation, I can't yet fault Starling. I've had none of the communication, computer error, or "failure to keep up with modern life and technology" issues which have always cropped up in banking with the traditional banks over the last 25 years (Santander, Barclays, Coop, Natwest etc..). Online and app banking with traditional banks has generally been a glitchy add-on service, which always eventually defaults to long phonecalls with a series of operatives in call-centres to resolve even the most minor issues. Now I can genuinely do all my regular banking digitally without breaking stride or waiting 20 minutes on a phoneline for problems that could theoretically be resolved with a single secure message or chat, if the right systems and security are in place. Thank you Starling. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Uncomplicated and professional

Starling bank accounts are refreshingly easy to set up and manage, the app simple to navigate, and the immediate transaction alerts are reassuring. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
