Great customer service team.

Just Magical

The snow globe at the end of a tough 2020 was the perfect little pick me up! I found myself logging into the app, just to shake it and see the snow. I have no complaints at all with Starling Bank. I can see everything at the touch of a button, it's easy to navigate, and amazing at showing me where I probably spend too much money. Having the ability to cash a cheque into my bank from the comfort of my own home is great, knowing I don't have to put myself or anyone else at risk leaving the house (not that I get a lot of cheques!!). I cannot fault Starling Bank! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Straight forward to use anywaher in the world

I've used my card across Europe, Africa and America, each time I courting no fees at all. The same could not be said for most major high Street banks. Recommended to everyone. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent

We have all my accounts on Starling. Makes life very easy, Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Finally, a proper challenger bank...

5
Very decent and straightforward - does what it says on the tin. Simple, clear and easy to use. Unlike others, there is no tease to get you onboard or the (new found?) realisation that their sustainability will involve jamming you with 3rd party products or moving the goalposts re the original sweeteners to sign you up etc etc Just very, very good - the Euro account is a bonus feature too. Keep up the good work! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great bank with user friendly app

5
I moved my maincurrent account over to Starling after using the account for travel and I have not been disappointed. The app is very easy to use. Keeping track of spending is a dream. The spaces feature makes it easy to save money for things like holidays and home improvements and us easy to access when you need the funds. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great Customer Centric attitude

Love the simplicity of Starling and it is very easy to use. When i had my account targeted by fraud whilst overseas Starling were fantastic and quick to move to support me and re-assure that my finances were safe. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
