I have nothing but praise for this bank. I know my financial situation at all times. Its so easy to use. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So easy to use!

Fantastic bank - I’ve been with them a few years now. The app is straightforward to use, there’s no hassle with branches or phone calls and you have what feels like much greater control over your money than with other banks. The transactions go through incredibly quickly too, which is always useful. They even offer euro accounts with very cheap transfer rates (the best I’ve seen). Overall, excellent, and I’ll be switching my current account to them permanently in the next year or so. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So easy to use

I set this up for using when overseas as you do not get hit by unknown exchange rates and fees but I have come to love the app and the bank for being super easy to use and you can scan checks which has been used during the lockdowns. I have already recommended them to my friends and family so you should consider them as well :) Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

What can I say, as a new customer of Starling Bank I am so impressed as to how easy and simple using the online app is. Everything you need is there and you get confirmation when a payment comes in or goes out helping you manage your money better. Should have had an account with them long before now.

Starling is in line with all new disruptive strategies, listening to customers and providing simple transparent money solutions. The idea has been replicated, but Starling has its customers base at heart for the moment. Great job, much success for the future Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
