Easy easy easy

Everything about the bank is easy from downloading and opening an account to straight away being able to use Apple Pay on your new card which has not arrived yet! Alerts are perfect and always alert me straight away to what I have just spent or to a direct debit which is coming the next day. Love it! Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Best Banking Experience

Great alternative to the high street banks Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Best Bank

I’ve recently joined Starling bank and I can say it’s the best bank ever. I would recommend them to everyone. If you need a bank go to starling you won’t regret it Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Easy, fast and free

Signing up to Starling Bank was an easy process, all done via a smart phone (which you need to manage the account), but most people have one these days and it keeps costs down. Way down - most transactions, etc on a personal account are free! I travel a lot, and in the countries where it is accepted you can use it, fee free in an ATM to withdraw cash and they give you somewhere close to the midrate exchange rate on your money. Unlike some banks which charge you a % of the money changed by giving you a lower rate. I've never used it in a shop so I can't comment on that, but many countries I go to don't like cards anyway - they want cash in the shops! I would say that Starling is the best bank card to carry if you travel a lot. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Truly Amazing!

Starling Bank has made my life as a student so much easier. The notifications when money enters and leaves your account are useful for keeping on top of my money. The app layout is much easier easier navigate than it's rivals. Customer Service being available 24x7 is a godsend as well. Any issues I've had have been dealt with quickly and courteously Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Best digital bank or I'd say best UK bank

I have never had any issue with Starling bank since joining them from June 2020. They are excellent service provider. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Superb experience

I moved my main current account to Starling 4 years ago and I've never looked back. Great app (miles ahead of my high street bank's), great service and brilliant features - I still can't pay cheques into my high street bank via their app. If they offered other services such as a credit card, I'd be first in line. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Concise, simple, streets ahead

The design and feel is consistently clear and straightforward; the banking experience itself sublime. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Excellent bank

I have a current account with Starling bank and are amazing bank, account and app. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Excellent app-great customer service

Fantastic bank- never had a problem- the instant notifications provide peace of mind. Notification of payments due is a great feature. The spaces allow you to organise your spending. Cannot fault this bank at all Reviewed on: 18th January 2021
