A Great Find

5
Initially opened this account because the foreign exchange was such good value and so easy. But I am sold! It's so easy to use, no fuss, no faff. Rates are good, customer service - when I've needed it - has so far been excellent (a note of caution: as companies become bigger their customer service ALWAYS deteriorates; so hope this doesn't happen here!). Easy to navigate, clear, modern and excellent service. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Switched to starling last year and i"m so happy that I did for both Personal and Business Accounts

5
All my dealings with Customer Service have been very good nothing is to much trouble and the banking app for both Personal and Business are fantastic the thing i'm most impressed with is the security ie when making online payments you have to approve in your app before they will be approved which at this time where fraud is high this really protects your money.

Instant notifications

Great free current account

4
Starling Bank has great services, providing me a current account where I can create my own saving goals and, also, I can manage all my account with my mobile. Lat year, they created the option to use it in computer/laptop, that was great because sometimes I prefer to use it. Also, Starling Bank has the option to have a Euro account, if you want. It's very useful to me because I'm travelling to Europe a lot. Fantastic product. Thanks Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Just such an efficient user friendly app

5
I use my card primarily for online purchases and pYments, but it is equally just as enjoyable using out and about in the retail world. It really is a joy to use with confidance. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy to use app based banking.

5
Having had a nightmare experience with HSBC with their over complicated security systems forcing me to navigate between an app and online banking to do what should be straightforward and simple tasks, it was an easy decision to open an account with Starling. This was easy to do as have all other tasks via the app. Great banking experience Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Absolutely brilliant and a really simple and thorough app

I transferred from a couple of banks and have found the starling team very helpful. I love the simplicity of the app while keeping everything I need in there. Off topic but I also love the integration with business products keeping banking seamless Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
