Easy to use and great customer service Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Flying high with Starling.

5
I love the ease of using the account, from swapping to it, to having alerts should you use the debit card. Using it abroad was ideal, especially the immediate currency exchange being highlighted. The ability to cash cheques (under £500) online is ideal. Customer service is great and queries are answered speedily. All in all I love Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A breath of fresh banking air!

I've moved to Starling after lots of research and couldn't be happier or more impressed. They've taken banking to a new level with a user friendly interface, I'm sure anyone else moving will not be disappointed. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Have enjoyed using Starling's current account - both in GBP and EUR - to make and receive payments, and much more. Would highly recommend over any brick-and-mortar bank account! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The best bank I've been with

5
I've been with most of the high-street banks for current accounts over the years and I can safely say that Starling Bank is the best - hands down! The interface of the app is clean and easy to use, the functionality and features are second to none and always work as expected and the customer service is also top-notch. When I hear a friend of mine considering a change of bank, I always jump in and recommend Starling. Im the banks biggest fan... Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent bank that has made life much easier!

5
Starling has made banking and being in control of my finances so easy. I have never had any issues with them, and have convinced at least 6 of my friends and family to move their accounts over, as it is fast, practical, modern and reliable. The best way to stay on top of my money and budget, and the euro account is an added bonus. Very pleased with them. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
