Easy banking.

5
Newly joined but everything is on a par with mainstream banks. All the features are clear and concise, no hiccups or unexpected results. Am considering making a full switch in the near future. Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

Great easy to use banking that puts you in control!

Wonderful easy to set up easy to use. Notifications to tell me when payments are due out. Instant notifications of any activity. Works everywhere (except fuel card pumps). With Apple pay etc! Savings pots and rounding up payments with no crappy charges! Love it! Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

Easy to set up and some great features

5
A friend recommended Starling to me and I’m so glad they did. Good app, I love the feature of allocating spaces to save for things. I find it easier to save that way. Very efficient, signed up on my phone in less than 10 minutes and had my card through the post 3 days later. The quality of the envelope it arrived in suggested they go one further than other banks. , who just put there’s in a wafer thin envelope stuck on a letter. It was like a proper invitation....It was... to join the best bank. Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

Great bank

5
Changed to Starling after being with Lloyds Bank for 50 years. Starling are great, they tell you when money has gone in or out of your account. You can access your account 24/7. You get interest. You can open up other accounts for Xmas savings etc. If you have a query or don't understand something, they get back to you or email you and explain things. Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

Starling is brilliant easy to use and give you fantastic info on how you spend your money.
