Brilliant service always

5
Have been using this whilst in EU excellent so easy prompt notifications and brilliant up to date responses super safe too Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant Current Account

5
The current account has given me better insight and control of my money. I have been able to save thousands more since being with starling through the use of pots to cordon off money that I would normally spend. 10/10 Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A bank that cares and makes life a little less stressful

5
I have been with Startling for 2 years now, prior to starling i had been with a high street bank for more than 40 years. At first i was a little sceptical about what to expect, however now i seem to be using Starling for everything. The app is really easy yet very secure, it integrates nicely with both my phone and smart watch, the added security measures are seamless and international travel is now easier. A great product that has changed my opinion on banking. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Game changer

5
After being with starling for a few months as a second account for my spending I soon decided to switch completely. I now walk past my old bank with massive queues outside it and laugh to myself - these people don’t know what they’re missing out on! I have also saved more money with Starling’s Goals than I did with my savings ISA and I could not be happier with the service, ease and efficiency of this bank. It really is a game changer and step forward in the right direction. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A breath of fresh air in the banking world

5
I true loath the way traditional banks have dragged their feet with digital banking. I loath their customer service. So finding Starling has been amazing. Everything I wanted from a bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Amazing way to see your money

5
I started using Starling to keep a better track of my money as it shows you instantly what you have spent instead of 'pending' for days which is fantastic. The function of saving your change is amazing as I amass savings quickly on X2 and you can have as many saving spaces as you want. Such an amazing bank that sorted out my finances 100% Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best online bank without question

5
Over the past few years it has been an absolute pleasure to be a customer of Starling Bank. There's no online bank can match Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

As it should be

5
The starling experience is second to none, safe, secure, easy to use and miles ahead of the other banks! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simply the best !

5
Starling is quite frankly the best out there and I’ve tried pretty much all of the other banks. Everything about my account is better than the next best ! Would only recommend Starling ! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Seems so easy

5
The app in particular feels so much "lighter" than the similar offerings from traditional banks. Functionality is great and navigation simple, backed by quick processes in the background, e.g. money transfer and cheque pay in. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
