Forward thinking bank using innovative technology

5
I would highly recommend Starling to Family and friends. Having a login via the Web for personal customers and being offered an overdraft would make this bank 10 stars. I do understand the personal customer website is under development but this needs to be moved forward at a quicker pace. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

On line, On song and spot on

Since joining Starling Banke my banking activities have been smoother, quicker and highly efficient. I even had the pleasure of speaking to a native English speaker when I had cause to call customer service. I can keep an accurate watch on my account balance with a breakdown of my spending being recorded in real time. I wonder why other banks arn't like this? Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
