So much more of a better experience than high street banks with a smoother and more personal approach, to the extent I’ve since closed all my accounts with traditional banks. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Starling Bank Review

5
It is very fast and easy to set up a current account with Starling Bank. Furthermore, the debit card is sent for free to new account openers, including free shipping. Starling also offers the possibility to set up a Euro account, joint account, and business account on its app that is easy to navigate. Communication is also of a high level as expected by a bank, and to this day I have had absolutely no issues with Starling and am very pleased and impressed by what it offers. Highly recommended.

The future of banking

5
Starling are definitely the future of banking. It has been so easy to set up a current account, a euro account, a joint account, connected space for our child - incredibly easy to manage all from one app. I have bemoaned the fact that I couldn't have all this at my fingertips in the past, but now I celebrate the fact that I do. Top class. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A fantastic banking experience!

5
Having signed up to digital banking last year, I have been really pleased with Starlings banking experience. The contactless card was a lifesaver, having been refused one by my high street bank, it came into its own when I really needed it to manage my money. I also must mention that the design simply rocks! Love the blue colourways that really stands out from the rest. The app is very easy to navigate and I can easily track what I spend and can transfer my money very quickly and fuss free. Also very impressed with their cheque depositing feature. A brilliant idea not only in these times but going forward. Excellent all round!! Highly recommend this banking company to anyone thinking of switching to digital. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
