Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

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

Great service and in control

Starling has really helped me to understand a lot more about my spending habits. They're easy to contact and seem much better at solving problems than previous banks I've been with. It was a great bank to use while I was travelling. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best Bank Ive Ever Used

I often compare Starling with my friend who uses Monzo and it always comes out on top. Its the best app I use, we use the joint account as well which is seamless, there are constantly new updates providing great features and UI changes. I frequently recommend it to everyone who will listen Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best bank!

I signed up for a Starling account initially for the zero overseas transaction fees, and have been impressed by their service right from the start. The app is miles better than all other banks I've come across, providing detailed information about transactions and useful spending grouping. The zero international fees has saved me lots whilst travelling over the last few years. Definitely recommend this bank to everyone. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
