Brilliant Bank to Bank with

Love the app and customer service, never want to leave Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy

I was drawn to Starling because of Euro account. I have found it extremely easy to navigate and although I had originally though it would be a secondary account ,however, it is now my main account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Banking made easy

5
I have a sterling and euro current account with Starling. I am not a very technology savvy person but using their App is simple and safe. The fingerprint access is quick and avoids remembering different passwords. Operating between the 2 accounts using the same debit card is a bonus and the exchange rate offered is high with very low fees. It is the best I have found researching the market. Using the card at ATMs abroad and purchasing goods with no fees from Starling is an exceptional service. In contacting Starling I have always had premium service and queries resolved promptly and satisfactorily. Finally the notification online of any expenditure or income into my accounts gives immediate information and security. I have recommended Starling to many friends and family confident that they will get excellent service and had really positive feedback. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy, fast, efficient, secure

5
I opened a Starling account at the prompting of my adult sons. It is extremely easy to use; feels secure when transferring money or paying a bill. I like the option to add the loose change from a transaction to separate folder - I use this to make regular charity donations. I have not experienced any problems. Looking forward to a savings account! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple and Refreshing

5
After 40 years with my old bank, my branch closed down. As my banking was now going to be online I decided to research the options out there and after reading reviews I decided on Starling. Brilliant! Easy to use, simple interface, paying in a cheque by photo or freepost, excellent! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Banking as it should be

5
I was hesitant at first to move to an online bank for my current account but the move was so easy. Starling app is very easy to use and has made accessing my account information so quick.. no fees abroad and at home make it a great choice. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

With starling, I can just get on with my life. It is the first bank that has given me full access to everything that I need and even enabled me to learn how to save better because I have a direct overview to everything without having to calculate statement balances. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
