Tip top bank

Joined with starling in January excellent service easy website nothing to much trouble Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Streets ahead of the big banks!

Everything is better than you expect from start to finish. Account opening process was quick and easy - instantly adding the card to Apple wallet. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Very easy switching process; great for spending abroad

Everything went very smoothly from start to finish of the transfer process and I find the phone app very user-friendly. It's great that the current account is interest-bearing (not all are these days). I'm looking forward to being able to use online banking from a computer, which is coming soon...

Such a refreshing change from the outdated and poor online service that I had received from my 30 yeaf experience with my old bank. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Top class bank

Simple and easy to use app. Very happy. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Incredible Banking value delivered through a simple, fast online process.

I have now entered the world of semi-retirement and after 52 years of Midland/HSBC service decided to close my accounts with them. They supported me through Marriage, Children, Grandchildren, starting, and after 30 years, winding down our business last year. We have no complaints at all about their service. But with much fewer financial transaction my engagement with Full Service High Street based International business seemed an unnecessary cost. After a continuous flow of ‘recommendations’ from the family I leapt into Starling Banks Cyberspace. It has been a revelation. For the first time ever, I have successfully downloaded and then instantly achieved full functionality of an App….without help from the Grandchildren!! I would recommend it unreservedly to any Silver Surfers teetering on the edge banking change. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Works perfectly

We've been with Starling since Last spring time and found it a great account, no issues, great notifications and just a general good experience. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Overall good but with some issues

A problem for the return money back for any reverse/return transaction as it takes too much time to appear in the account. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
