Excellent all round Bank

So joined the bank as my second bank, mainly to start with how fast cheques were processed without leaving my home. Customer services are very good too, answer questions quickly. I have to be honest, there are a couple of things I personally don’t like. Finding balances and the actual main screen is a little confusing, too much navigating compared to be being simple. There is a lot of clicking around. I think this needs looking at. Also when changing mobile phone numbers, I needed to do face recognition and a video. Did this twice, and did not work.... so my old number still showing. This was tried on an iPad. This is just a couple of issues from my end that needs a bit of juggling. Other than that, Starling are one of the best, if not the best online banking app. Very futuristic and so far in front of main competitors, or usual high street banks.... I am very happy despite my findings or niggles. I even got my husband onto Starling Bank. Very happy with an all round online banking app. Messages or concerns answered very quickly, no hanging around and waiting. Excellent communication. So I do recommend highly, this Bank deserves recognition to listening to its customers, acting on and deliverance. 10/10 from me Thank you Starling, keep up the good work, you will then have awards coming fast and furious.

Amazing

Very good customer service and the app works extremely well Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Innovative ideas

Thought the idea of issuing a connected card was very useful to me as a 71 year old, without underlying health issues thankfully, but for my neighbour to purchase items I needed at any time with just a whatsapp message to her whilst she was working. Have found this new addition to the already excellent service just exactly what was needed at this time, and could have only been thought of by another woman!! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

This account Changed my life

Best bank available, you can manage your money, budget and save all on your phone quickly. I will never have a high street bank again, even if they are doing more accounts like starling they are still behind the times and not moving quick enough in the modern world. This account has helped me change my spending habits, save lots of money each month and keep track of my transactions. I love how the app tells me what I’ve spent and before a shop till tells me. It’s great for cracking down on fraud as I can place most of my money in different pots out of the main account so it can’t be spent if someone try’s and if someone does a transaction I know instantly, can stop the card and speak to someone in minutes on the chat. Staff are a breath of fresh air too, Helpful and polite at all times. I opened this account in minutes sat in my living room, you can’t do that with main banks! And I can set up payees in minutes too without needing to log in on a laptop, and have lots of different passcodes and little keypads. It’s quick and easy to bank with Starling, send friends money, pay bills, cash a cheque with your phone! I’ve recommend this bank to friends and family and all have opened one including business accounts. Everyone needs a starling account and will save better by having one.
