The future of banking

5
How easy it was to sign up for my own current account and then a joint account for me and my wife. This is how banking should be, and Starling really leave behind the High Street banks in their trail. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So easy, fresh and friendly way of banking

5
Delighted and impressed from the start. So easy to create an account and the team have always been incredibly responsive. I’ve never felt the need to have to go into a physical bank as the chat function and their response time is incredibly. Never been happiest with any other bank. And never felt as connected with any other bank - their email content is great and very helpful. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Have been using Starling for a couple of years now. Have 3 other bank's accounts and Starling is by for the easiest to use. Full marks to Starling just need you to enable me to start paying euro bills Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy to use, some great features on their app, like checking spend with Asda, and Spaces are great! Plus I think I get more interest on my account than in my other bank savings account! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Unsurpassed customer service

I can't speak highly enough of Starling Bank's customer service. Starling Bank's customer service is nothing less than a delightful oasis in a vast wasteland of nasty, incompetent useless corporate inaccurately labelled 'customer service'. Having used Starling's customer service using both email and phone I can not speak highly enough of them. Starling Bank appears to use human beings who actually ... wait for it ... read/list, consider and reply to every aspect of what I've asked about or the issue I was currently having. Then -- apparently without the need of a 'customer service' checklist or script -- they actually addressed my issues! Gasp! They didn't pass the responsibility or blame on the customer as a default action. Amazing! All aspects of my issues were addressed and resolved as if emailing or talking with a friend. Brilliant! There will always be issues with any service or product. However I have no fear should I need assistance in the future because I know from personal experience Starling Bank will listen, think and act (even outside the box!) to answer my questions or resolve issues. I would have given them a big hug if I could. Never thought I'd say customer service was a pleasant experience. I can with Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
