Great bank

5
What a breath of fresh air, banking is simple unfussy and basically does what it says on the tin. I have not had to contact starling at all since opening my account all my queries (which weren’t many) were solved by FAQs or just basically explanations on the app. So far there is not one thing I can find wrong.

Easily the best bank I've been with.

5
Having been with the typical High Street banks for 20 odd years I took the plunge with an online bank. After much delay and research I went for Starling. Now I'm over a year with them and the only regret is not doing it sooner. I literally cannot fault them and their ethical stance is one to be admired. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

This is how banking should be.

Thanks to my son in recommending Starling. It’s all so easy and has changed my outlook on the whole banking industry. I’m in the process of transferring all of my accounts to Starling with no reservation at all. One less thing to think about in these crazy times. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Fantastic bank

I joined starling bank sometime ago when I was financially fine then I lost my job and had to take lower paid employment and one thing lead to enough until I had to speak to Stepchange unfortunately I had used a lot of my overdraft. Starling was brilliant they immediately stopped charging me interest and let pay the overdraft back at a low rate now I paid it of and enjoying using my bank again Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Just what I need!
