Excellent

User friendly and secure I have recommended this bank to all my friends and family Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Revolutionary Banking

Beautiful modern design that’s simple to understand and easy to navigate but offers a lot of modern features such breaking down spending habits. It’s amazing that it doesn’t charge for overseas transactions and withdrawals which was my main reason for opening the account. It also pays interest on credit balances, and at a better rate than the savings account with my other bank, and for no monthly account fee, all for free! So easy to open, what’s not to love!

Best bank I have ever been too

Never had a bank so easy to use . I was with bank of scotland but they were terrible and I thought give this a shot seecwgat happens. Super fast online banking so easy too see everything . Tells you how much you spent that day and what on . Tells you monthly Bill's etc . Let's you know about direct debts so can make sure got enough . Open up saving or that takes a second and can set up so it adds money when you spend . Could keep going but i have never experienced something so easy but so safe to use . Love this bank i have recommended it now my partner is going get one and my sisters and mother . Love it keep it up guys awesome job Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Easy & Efficient

Easy to open an account and easy to use. If there is any activity on my account I get a notification within seconds. If there is ever any issues, they are dealt with efficiently within half an hour or so. Easy to instantly transfer money into separate “goals” this is an amazing feature Highly recommend...

Fast and Efficient

I have been with Starling Bank for 15 months now. The initial setup and opening of the account was very easy and the app has worked faultlessly ever since. I have current accounts with other banks but have switched everything to Starling as it works best and allows my wife and I to easily manage our banking needs. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Get up to date with your banking

I heard about Starling primarily because a friend say she used it whilst in Spain on holiday, using the Euro was very cheap on the exchange. I used to use Revolut for the foreign exchange rate. I looked into the background of Starling and saw the Anne Boden vids on YouTube and realised it was a proper bank I could use as a current account and when I travelled. After I switched to Starling I realised what I had been missing. So many details about payments, the nearby payment thing, the alerts for pending payment BEFORE they come out the account, rather than saying you are overdrawn and you need to put money in or we will charge you alerts. So many little bits, not enough time to go into more detail but overall very pleased. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Easy, simple & effective

Easy to set up and transfer you account with these. Simple to use the app and gain an understanding of what relates to what pretty much straight away. Effective because I can track my incomings and outgoings a lot better without manually doing so myself. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Revelation to the banking world

Starling has changed the way way I bank. It’s simple uncomplicated and easy to manage my money. They have streamlined the process of banking and have fantastic support when you need it. They have taken away all the needless add ons and given me a range of useful options should I need them. Well done starling for standing up for the consumer. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
