Perfect app and simple functionality

App is so easy to use. Spending categorisation is near-perfect. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Very useful

Great features, easy set up. Can't complain Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

User friendly

Simple to use and the updates are quick and efficient Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

The best bank I've used in 30 years.

I've had an account with Starling for almost two years. I could never go back to a legacy bank. Starling have changed the way I save, changed the way I spend and changed the way I budget. I have much greater control over my money and the app is a revelation. I can do everything I need to do right from the app and on the very few occasions I had an issue back in the early days their customer services were fantastic. If things continue bloke this I'll never need to change banks ever again. I set up my account whilst on a ferry to France and was using my new Starling Account to pay for fuel via Google Pay within days before returning to the UK. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Functionality streets ahead

The functionality of the app is years ahead of other banks. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Simple, straightforward

Very easy to use and understand throughout the application and after using the mobile app - love the Goals idea of sectioning off money but interest being paid on the while balance of the account Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

The best

A good all round bank best for spending abroad no charges Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Straight forward - it works!

Set up was easy - App works well - very efficient. Will look into moving my other accounts to Starling. Already recommended to a friend and they feel the same. Refreshing! Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Keep an eye on your spending and save

Switched from a high street bank to get one with an app that helps us keep an eye on spending and save for a holiday. It's helped us be far more careful and we've got a pot saved towards a holiday later in the year. Would only choose these as they are a proper bank that is underwritten by the FSA just in case. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Brilliant

Exactly what I want. No hassle, no complexity, just instant banking at my fingertips. Traditional banks are behind the curve. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
