Easy to keep track

Makes other banks look like something out of Dickens

5
Got fed up with mainstream banks using quill pens & carrier pigeons. Only drawback appears to be photo recognition of cheques to pay in but you can't have everything. Have opened a Tide account too. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Helpful, great service!

Customer service is always there to help when you need it with no delay Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A modern bank account fit for everyone

5
It was really easy to set up and all the security levels felt both secure and logical. Using the account is so much easier than previous accounts and I especially love the spaces facility that allows me complete control over my expenses. I haven’t found anything so far that I have not liked. A fabulous account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent on-line bankers

5
As a global traveller, Starling is the BEST bank for worldwide access with zero or minimum charge. The app integrates well with Apple Pay and moving money around from account to account is very easy. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
