App-based challenger banks are the future

I can't really compare Starling to their direct competitors in this new space, but I do know they're leaps and bounds better than the traditional brick-and-mortar banks I was used to dealing with. The simplicity and ease of access means I actually feel aware of, and in control of, what's happening with my money. Features like saving spaces and expenses categorisation help me on a day to day basis, and a growing stable to plug-ins from 3rd party services is encouraging for the future. Assuming the economy improves at some point and interest rates become more than negligible, I hope we'll even get savings accounts and similar. Otherwise I honestly dread the idea of having to go elsewhere for them. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Starling flies with the Eagles - always.

I cannot praise this bank enough. As a 76 year old, I thought joining a digital bank might be too much of a challenge - but I was wrong. They fly high in a class of their own - thank you. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Absolutely brilliant

This is the only bank I would trust at this time. Customer service is second to none and they are so friendly! I never have and do not envisage any problems in the future either. Thank you Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great bank

Love how this bank keeps in touch. Makes you feel your part of something familiar and real, unlike the other big corporate monsters. The app is great - I actually earn interest on my current account! I love the kids account, (shame it costs £2 per month but hey ho) the commission free card use abroad a big deal to me also. Hoping to get the opportunity to take advantage of that this year! I also like that fact it’s UK based, even more so it’s founder is from my home town Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So straightforward and reliable

I find Starling Bank brilliant for day to day banking and purchases. Quick to respond to queries and always happy to help. Been with them a few years now and wouldn’t swap for anything Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best Banking App

The app just makes banking easy and stress free. It should have been invented years ago, I finally feel on top of my money because I can check it easily and budget. Also the saving pot for rounding up money and saving it away has been a huge help, I've saved loads. AND I have now have a joint account with my boyfriend for household bits and rent, and it's so easy to pay rent each month, it's just made my life that little bit better. Chuffed.

The best bank in the UK

Starling gives you everything you need, great customer service, cutting edge technology and user experience and lots of innovation. Light years ahead of the old banks. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Convinced me that smartphone banking worked

My Starling experience has been seamless from the beginning. Opening the account was simple, the App works well, responses are fast. Navigating the App was a bit of a learning curve ( I am 72 years of age) , but nothing too difficult. Following my personal current account experience, I've also opened an account for the small company I'm involved with. Very impressed. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best bank ever

So easy to apply. Account opened in less than 3 days. Manage money sections easily and set up saving goals Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
