Always recommend

I always recommend starling to family and friends. I find that the app is much easier to navigate than its competitors and the branding is slicker. It is very easy to keep track of spending and saving goals, my favourite feature is spaces - I like that you can view all of the spaces at once and customise the badges. I also like that you can see your card number from within the app, particularly useful when you are online shopping without your wallet to hand. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant. That is all.

Exceptional piece of technology, making life much simpler and efficient compared to the 'big banks'. I use First Direct alongside Starling and, whilst FD's customer service is second to none, the application-based banking of Starling is way in front. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The definition of modern banking.

There are many digital "challenger" banks, but none has the simplicity or professionalism of Starling Bank. Every single aspect of their service is second to none, and using the major old banks' services constantly frustrates me now that I have seen how it can be done. UX is on point.

Nothing could be better

Easy to use, thoughtful and have never needed to ask for anything from the service team. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

loving it

my first real-time bank account entirely in an app. Cheque uploads, instant money transfers, spend analysis, card control, all from my hand. love it! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

digital records at my fingertips

Starling helps me keep track of transactions and manage my money because of how simple and intuitive it is, and the information it provides. At a glance I can see on screen how my spending breaks down by categories. It gives me control and help me plan, working for me and supporting the way I think and plan anyway! It's reduced my paper records and time spent painstakingly keeping track - it's all right there in glorious technicolour. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent App and Easy to Use

I've been with Startling for over 2 years and they have continuously made improvements to the services that they offer and their App. It is refreshing to have a bank that listens to its customers, is innovative and not staid like traditional banks. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
