Better than high street banks!

5
I love Starling. It's the future. I've struggled so much to do basic things with traditional high street banks like change my address, update my telephone number, order a statement, set limits on my account. Starling lets me do everything from the app! Traditional high street banks need to catch up. I like how easy it to send and receive money and I really appreciate functions like being able to block my card and receive notifications of transactions in real time via pop up notifications. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent service

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

5
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 Bank

Starling is the best bank around today. It’s app is easy to navigate and simple to use. It’s customer service is brilliant too. I’d happily recommend Starling to anyone. 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
