Great Online Bank

Best bank I've ever used

5
Easy to open the account. Really easy to keep up with spending move money. Great value for use abroad, we went to New Zealand and used our debit cards for everything while we were there. We got a good exchange rate and always knew exactly how much we had remaining in our joint account. Also feels very secure when using on line, the two stage authentication is straightforward. Am recommending Starling to all my friends. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple and reliable

From setting up my account to managing day to day operations, Starling has been intuitive, easy to use and easy to work with. Their teams are responsive, their app continues to evolve and the emphasis on customer needs is a refreshing change from my previous experiences with UK banks. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Outstanding

5
I have banked with a few banks over the years but none have impressed me as much as Starling. The fact that I have only had to speak to someone once in all the time I have held an account shows how well they have developed their mobile and online proposition from day 1. I can honestly see me never having to change banks again. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
