Much Better Than the Big Old Fashioned Banks

I love this bank because their app is so up to date and easy to use. They also never have schedule outages for updates so are always available when I need them. I have tried many banking apps and Starling is the best by far Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Love Starling, with the notifications every time you use your card it has made me spend less and reduce my overdraft for the first time in years. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Starling Bank is amazingly accessible, easy to set up and run. With fantastic features to take away the chores of mainstream banking! Their staff are also incredibly helpful and quick to respond. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great service and access

Cant have enough good things to say. Account works around you rather than you working around the account. Easy, safe, secure but without hindering use. Nota balance other banks achieve. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Refreshing connected excellence

5
I love Starling it’s not just because of its excellent app and ease of use and all the bang up to date tech. Starling makes you feel part of something real, like banking was years ago, unfortunately these days banks can make you feel isolated and just an account number, with Starling even though it’s internet only you get the personal touch, it feels good to be a customer.
