Experience

It was good experience. They gave a useful paper card when I registered, compare to other banks they always give you so many useless information papers. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Great app and a fresh approach

Easy to use their app, much better for keeping track of your spend. Great that you can use it without charges all round the world. Customer service is prompt Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

The new way to bank

5
Starling's free allowance to take money out abroad tempted me to sign up, but the service and ease of use has kept me a customer for a year now and I'm very happy. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

A great experience

Keeps you focused and within budget, fast single set up and then joint set up. World class service. Cards here within days, not weeks. Set up spaces to see our money grow and working within budgets that frees up other money too. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Modern and Simple to Use

Easy to set up and a very practical account for everyday use that can also be used on our travels. Instant alerts for payments. I haven't been a customer for long but love how user friendly and easy to use it is. Much more ' human' than my traditional bank. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

A crisp, clean, modern way of banking

5
Having decided that I liked the idea of an online bank and having looked around for one, I settled on Starling. This decision was made after reading reviews and checking out the bank online. The facility has lived up to my expectations and the app is intuitive and easy to use, while keeping me up-to-date with my daily banking usage. The account was quick and easy to set up and the ability to create, have and use a bank account without the inconvenience of having to ‘go to a branch’ has been a big benefit. I would highly recommend anyone to consider using Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
