On-the-go joy!

5
The app is so easy to use. The functionality is great, and whenever you need additional help, there is always a friendly, supporting real person to talk to. The quirkiness of the brand is also a huge positive point in these days of corporate blandness. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy and reliable

Easy and reliable app, clear communications and good customer care. Thanks Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Innovative, inspired and incredibly easy to use.

Using Starling is a pleasure. Everything is well presented and easy to find. Being an app based service they have put the effort in to developing a super product. Where high street banks struggle to adapt to the new technology Starling thrives and in a world with less physical contact a Branchless Bank is exactly what is needed. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best Bank Ever

Best Bank Ever. A modern bank with a modern app. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Someone hacked into our account at 11.30pm one night and due to Starling sending a message to say funds had been spent we were able to deal with the matter quickly and easy and the money which was fraudulently spent was quickly returned to our account. Thank you Starling for your brilliant service. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Awesome bank

Starling Bank has made services thru offer standard my now. We now see a lot of the "big" banks saying they have services that Starling have always had. I. E. Manage your card in the app. I've never been more on control of my money and I've recommended you to so many people, some of which have made the move. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

I put them to the test internationally and LOVE

5
I got my Starling account for my 7-month trip across South & Central America but was so impressed with the ease of use, the app, the customer service, the rates that I now use it as my main account. I have a high street bank acc and another 'travel' account with a competitor but neither stand up to Starling, especially when travelling, I just knew I could rely on them which is so important when that far away from 'home'. Love that it is owned by a woman as well, always recommend Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy, intuitive online banking

To me, all online banking should be like this. Very easy and intuitive app to set up and use. Beautifully designed screens with no clutter. Simple bank account terms and conditions. No bank charges for foreign transactions. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
