Astounding

5
What a great service these people offer. Online, opened an account with straighforward and simple process. Service is great. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Changed my relationship with banks forever.

5
I used to have bad money management. I was unable to open an account with the legacy banks and decided to give Starling Bank a chance. I can’t go back to an ordinary account. Starling enables me to plan for the future and has been revolutionary. I’ve recommended to all my friends and colleagues. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Brilliant

5
Very easy app to use, will be switching my current account soon. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Banking made wasy

5
Let’s be honest, banking is generally dull, you have money go in and go out. The app has made me more aware of where and how I spend my money. Improving my credit score as a direct result. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Effortless to set up, easy to use app

5
Setting up the account was effortless, and the card arrived quickly. Everything happens instantly (I get a Starling notification about transfers before the bank I've sent the money from has even confirmed that it's been sent) and the app is nicely streamlined and quick to use. Have since switched the business account over to Starling. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Starling are fab!

5
Love the user interface and being able to track my money. They are always available to help, and setting up was as easy as pie (from my sofa, at home). I've even managed to get my mum to have a Starling current act - she is amazed by how easy and user friendly it is. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Switch banks

5
Switched banks a few months ago and wish I did it sooner. Very easy app and I know where I’m spending my money. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Easy no frills banking

Fantastic User Experience

5
Starling Bank is fantastic, I can't recommend them any more. We initially opened an account to use while travelling due to the fantastic rates when using your card abroad. Since opened a current account and also a joint account with my partner. This was the easiest finance application I have ever done, took only a couple of minutes however I still felt that my security was of top concern. Also great interest rates for savings!
