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
