Most effective bank

5
Since using this bank whilst travelling abroad I have found it so efficient, safe and very responsive. A bank like this has been needed for so long. Well done Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Wish I'd moved to Starling sooner

5
Since moving my current account to Starling, I have experienced only positives - the app is quick and easy to use and I am finding it so much easier to keep track of my expenditure and income. Being able to bank cheques via the app is also excellent (especially this year with the pandemic) I am so pleased I made the change away from a traditional bank which had provided mediocre service at best.

Faceless banking with a huge personality

5
I love being able to manage my banking without having to go into a branch and deal with the queues and constant questions and selling. That is until I need assistance and then I can get a helpful, ‘no problem’ colleague on the end of the phone- no queues, no unnecessary number punching and quick answers. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple, convenient and reliable

5
All my banking at the touch of a button. Easy to set up your account, link accounts, deposit cheques, transfer money and make payments! I love it! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Nice change

5
My experience with starling is growing and I like the versatility and the regular updating. I need to use the Bank more to be honest, regards stan Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy and Convenient

5
Easy to register and very customer friendly app. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy, Friendly and transparent.

5
The bank itself is phenomenal, with easy to use features that give you the ability to control spending and manage money really well. Starlings palette is beautiful. But what to me makes it the best is how its aims and policy is so clear- Anne the founder of starling is publicly visible and shows the benefits of starling. This is so different to the hidden executives of big corporate banks. Starling is for the people Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy to use

5
See at a glance your balance, updated almost in real time. Easy to see transactions and sort them into groups. Request money easily, split bills. Added bonus is the second card for friends to shop for you. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great app!! Wished I moved over months ago!

5
Easy to use app, enjoy the notifications when you spend, transfer or receive money into your account. Love how you can save money by creating your own savings account with their own titles and it’s open! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
