Easy Saver account is inaccessible.

Been a customer for 2+ years but turned down for an Easy Saver account with little or no explanation. Why stimulate demand if you can’t or won’t supply it. Contemptuous treatment of a previously satisfied customer. Will definitely be moving to Chase Reviewed on: 14th February 2025

Reply from Starling Bank Hi David, we're sorry we've been unable to offer you an Easy Saver. The Easy Saver along with the rest of our accounts are subject to eligibility. To keep us and our customers safe, we're unable to go into detail as to how we accept or decline an application. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by this.

Starling Bank Review: A Stellar Banking Experience...

Starling Bank Review: A Stellar Banking Experience I've been a Starling Bank customer for a while now, and I can confidently say it's been a breath of fresh air in the world of banking. From its sleek app interface to its genuinely helpful customer service, Starling consistently impresses. One of the standout features for me is the app itself. It's incredibly intuitive and easy to navigate. Everything is at your fingertips, from checking your balance and making payments to setting up direct debits and managing your spending. The real-time notifications are a game-changer, giving you instant updates on every transaction. I also love the "Spaces" feature, which allows you to easily separate your money for different goals, like holidays or bills. It's a fantastic way to stay organized and in control of your finances. Beyond the app, Starling's customer service is truly exceptional. I've had a couple of queries over time, and each time I've contacted them, the response has been prompt, friendly, and helpful. They actually seem to care about their customers, which is a rare find these days. Whether I've reached out via the app or on the phone, the experience has always been positive. Starling also offers a range of other useful features, including free instant transfers, no fees for using your card abroad, and integrated budgeting tools. They’re constantly evolving and adding new features, which shows they’re committed to providing the best possible banking experience. In a nutshell, Starling Bank has completely changed my perception of banking. It's convenient, user-friendly, and backed by a fantastic customer service team. If you're looking for a modern, reliable, and genuinely helpful bank, I highly recommend giving Starling a try. You won't be disappointed. Reviewed on: 7th February 2025

Best UK bank by far

After switching from my brick and mortar bank to Starling a couple years ago I don't even know how I was surviving before. Far better than any of the brick and mortar banks, and personally I prefer it to the Monzo app. You can do everything in minutes from the app, and customer service is almost immediate, I've never had a problem that wasn't solved that day. Fully recommend switching, and with CASS you just can't lose. Reviewed on: 19th January 2025

Reply from Starling Bank Thanks for the feedback George! We're glad you're getting on well with banking with us. Hopefully these past couple years have been a breeze for your banking. Thank you for your review and for recommending us. Team Starling Response date: 28th January 2025
