I absolutely love backing with starling! I recommend it to all my family and friends so much that they ask me if I get commission or an incentive and I say to them no.. it’s just a really great bank!! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Customer in mind

5
I love using Starling Bank as their App is so easy to use and the information you need is all on hand. It’s easy to use for Contactless payments on my phone and the card, plus it confirms the transaction wherever you are in the world. It’s aimed at making life way for travellers with no charge for foreign transactions. Very easy to see what’s available and if it needs a top up. Highly recommended Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Proper Banking with a smile

I started off having this as a second account, however within a short space of time, the service was far better than my "traditional" bank I moved it all across. Customer service is great and really quick response times. I loved the extra touch with the app a Xmas to. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Fast, easy to use, range of services.

Customer service team quick to respond. Using Starling's services is easy, and their app is much faster and easier to use than other mainstream banks- often Starling notifies me about transaction before the card machine confirms it, very speedy! Their euro account has also been useful. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
