Nice change

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

Amazing service

5
An banking app that is very easy to use ,but safe it follows you every step of the way. When you spend it tells you almost straight away what and where you have spent. Up and coming outgoing or incoming payments so it's very easy to budget. I am very happy to use Starling bank and to promote them to my friends . Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Stress free

Easy to setup, easy to speak to a human who answers phone or live chat quickly, easy to access. No problems with unfair charges or rude staff in foreign call centres.... All you should expect really Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

How banking should be

5
Since joining Starling I have been amazed how simple and easy my banking has become. I can pay cheques in by taking a photo of the cheque, I can save for specific things by setting up 'spaces', pay using my iPhone and track my expenses automatically. The account setup was very quick and simple. Full marks for Starling Bank. :) Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The upstart banking needs

4
Everything has been simple... from setting up the account, to using the app, to arranging an overdraft - the latter at far better rates that the usurious high street banks. Only criticism is that Customer Service can be a little slow to respond. Have recommended to friends. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A breath of fresh air

5
From the updates as you spend and get deposits to the easy-ness of the app. Everything about starling is just super easy to use completed to the big banks and the customer service is spot on. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
