I have a current, joint and kids space account with Starling. I find it easier to manage my finances and I am able to save better than before with previous banks. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best decision to move away from traditional bank

It’s so convenient. So accessible. So easy to manage my money. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The Future of Banking

I was initially drawn in by the zero currency conversion fees whilst travelling and stayed for the innovative and futuristic way to bank. Using the app and only the app makes it so easy to use it every day and check your spending. Transferring and requesting money between friends is also extremely easy and useful.

Especially useful when paying abroad Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

My favourite bank

So simple, so quick, so efficient, so reliable. Couldn’t ask for more. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best online bank

I’ve tried opening a High Street bank account after I moved to UK but was unable because they didn’t take government papers as proof of address. In rescue come Starling. At first I chose them because their awesome card color but soon I realized the many many plus sides that came with them. I’ve never been this satisfied with a bank. The transparency, the benefits, the customer care-TOP Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best bank app

It has been the best banking app I have ever used, from many point of view, such as functionality, being able to pay someone with the app that’s close to me, categorising my spendings, one-time codes Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Clear, convenient and great for travelling

So reassuring to know you're not getting ripped off when travelling abroad Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Helpful and easy to use

Launch of Connected card and ease of using account for new payments and making sure money was in the right place was particular useful in the last year Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Very happy customer

I have been with Starling for a couple of years and I am very happy and have never had any issues. The app is intuitive and easy to use. Their customer service is great and they respond quickly to messages. I have had to get in touch after having my card cloned in India, and also to raise a dispute with a merchant and they have been responsive and helpful. Having no withdrawl or transaction fees worldwide is fantastic. It's so easy to keep on top of your spending with the app and using spaces to keep money aside. I recommend starling to everyone!
