Unhappy

I contacted Starling Bank before opening account and I was told that I could apply BBL using current account but now they have stop also switching Sole Traders account as well, totally unfair . Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

An easy bridge for Europe and the UK

Until I had a starling account I wouldn't have believed banking could be this easy! Working in both the UK and Europe, Starling has made this easier - Thank you Starling for making the bridge! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Amazing

I'm so glad I joined starling. Its so easy to use on my phone, customer service is excellent and the app is so much better than the previous bank I was with for 20 years. Just overall a much better experience. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Fantastic bank to use for travelling and cashless purchases

I joined Starling primarily to use it for my travelling in Singapore, New Zealand and Australia last year. It was my first entry into an App bank and I was slightly concerned, but there was no need for my concerns. I used my Starling card for everything on my travels without any problems, it was my best friend abroad. Due to Covid I haven’t had the opportunity to use it that much since my return, but again I’ve had no problems at all when using it in the UK. I love Starling! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Top Marks

Smashing it!!

I've 2 accounts with starling and it has really helped me control my spending during the pandemic and long periods of furlough, my grown up kids now all have accounts as well as a joint one with my wife! The app Is first class and the notifications are so helpful it helps keep on top of everything without having to spend ages trying to navigate a clunky platform!! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Absolutely amazing

They keep a track of all my transactions and are quick to resolve any issues I have Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A breath of fresh air in banking

Switched around a year ago from a high street bank and not looked back since. Everything is so easy through the app, fast response from online chats and they’re dedicated in offering excellent customer service and an ever evolving and improving app. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
