Great experience from start , on opening & moving regular monthly banking transactions I.e. direct debits & salary etc continuing to use app! Recommended to a friend who was struggling to open business account in these COVID times! Starling opened his business account within a week! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Just like a High Street Bank, BUT BETTER!

5
It's a bank. Just like any High Street Bank. BUT BETTER! It's simple, it's Digital, and it does all you would expect a bank to do. Is there a downside? I would say yes, in that there are certain circumstances where it is nice to sit face to face with your bank manager. But that is just a personal concern. And even though I say that, I have left my High Street Bank in preference for Startling. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Hassle free banking

Best Bank by Far

I have been with Starling for nearly 2 years now and it was thr best decision I have made. After becoming disappointed with the main stream banks they are a refreshing change. I hope to bank with them for many many years Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy banking

5
I literally could do everything banking in the app for which I would have to go into bank atleast couple of times if I had to deal with other traditional banks. Creating a joint account was even more exciting. I truly admire the great minds behind it and recommend it to others Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

I switched to Starling during 2020. Only wished I done it sooner. The mobile app is fantastic, easy to navigate, the current account is just what I thought it would be and more. Can’t recommend the bank highly enough. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
