A breath of fresh air compared to old bank accounts.

5
Everything is simple with the app, and no rip-off charges. Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

Easy to set up

5
Great user experience, easy to use. Love the joint account feature which has avoided us going overdrawn which used to happen regularly (without warning) with our previous current account, therefore no high overdraft fees. I can see where every penny is going and save more effectively - all at a touch of a button. Reviewed on: 5th February 2020

Easy banking without any drama

5
Can not fault the service provided by Starling Bank. Specifically, the ease of using the card aboard. Quick, easy & transparent. Much better than the High Street banks! Reviewed on: 5th February 2020

Suddenly running by bank account is so easy

Starling have completely changed by view of banking so easy, so transparent and so reliable Reviewed on: 5th February 2020

Simple, intuitive, awesome.

Fantastic bank with a great app. The goals feature with round ups really makes it a doddle to save. Reviewed on: 5th February 2020

Very efficient and easy to use

5
Customer service is also excellent Reviewed on: 5th February 2020

It just works!

5
All the functionality of a normal bank account with none of the down side. If you need to pay cash in you can go to the post office (who needs to do that now very few!) Everything else can be done on chat. Anne Boden hit the nail on the head here no complaints. Just do it, I'm typing this whilst using my lunch break waiting in a high street bank trying to close one of my old current accounts...it all seems so antique when with Starling I can do it all on the app!
