Firstly it the registration was thorough but straight forward and fast. It offered the possibility of a linked Euro account which was one of the main factors choosing Starling. The Fast transfer feature works well resulting in almost instant transfers. Overall a very easy and comprehensive current account for day to day banking. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

I set this account up through an app. Couldn’t believe how quick and simple the whole process was. Once account verified and approved I requested a card. When. Received it is activated on the app, asked for a pin reminder, which again is shown via the app. Very simple process all round, would highly recommend. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Banking shouldn’t be difficult - Starling Bank made opening and managing my finance clear and straight forward, no appointments needed, just download app, upload your documents and proof of ID, and you’re done. Also, you get to choose your PIN online, no need to wait for 2 separate envelopes and change PIN at atm. Love it! Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
