Best banking app and company by far...

From opening the account to using it daily to make online transfers, make payments with either my contactless card or on my phone with the virtual card - couldn’t ask for more - it’s simply the best there is and absolutely hassle free. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Starling have become just another bank.

2
It appears that Starling are taking the opportunity to hike overdraft rates for some customers, apparently because they can under the guise of upcoming banking regulation changes. Being a loyal customer makes no difference, turning Starling into just another bank. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Great bank. Easy and a joy to use

5
Switched from one of the big high Street banks and would never go back. Simple, easy and reliable. Everything is so much quicker than the sluggish, inefficient big banks. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Informative, Easy and Instant Access to Funds

5
Since joining the Starling family I have been very impressed with their service. The ease of using the app, sending money, saving money. It's what I needed to have instant access to funds and easy to sort money in the most simplest of ways. We have also opened a joint account from a different bank due to the 24/7 helpdesk and ease of using the system. Would recommend to all my family and friends and anybody who is thinking is this the right decision then I would say YES! Reviewed on: 7th February 2020
