Perfect app

Perfect timing,no extra useless notification. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best for Banking!

5
It's as simple as the heading suggests, Starling is by far the best for banking. No-fuss, no soppy rules, just an innovative and refreshing way to do banking. Starling has dragged retail banking kicking and screaming into the 21st century! Long may it continue! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple and stylish

5
I have been with Starling for around 12 months no and can't fault them. The app is so easy to use. I love that I get notifications when money is going in and out of my account. I've only had to contact them once and I was a bit concerned about how that would go but my query was resolved very quickly and in a very friendly manner. What more could you want?

Fantastic Experience

5
Having been with my previous Hugh street Bank for 15 years I thought it was time to change and join the future. I took the leap and haven't looked back. From the initial switch to now it has been a brilliant experience. The app is fresh and easy to use and the customer service contact when I needed it was 1st rate and quick. Everything has been so good my wife has switched along with 2 of my sons and the girlfriend of one of them. Can't give more praise than that. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Starling is so user friendly, and I love that I can separate my savings into different categories. The notifications I receive are always informative and accurate, and I’ve already recommended the bank to friends and family members. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
