A non nonsense bank without frills.

Good easy to use website.Doesnt poster you with offer after offer. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

An account that works with a European lifestyle.

I live between the UK and France (mostly) this account has offered flexibility in currency and travelling between our houses. I enjoy the layout and the easy of use. The fee structure is by far the best and is saving me money and time compared to the other systems I have tried in the past. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

First class

Excellent service with uo date instant transaction texts

You always know just how much you have in your account and it is so helpful when abroad you know exactly what you have spent in sterling Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Fantastic bank

I cannot fault Starling Bank. We now have personal; joint and Euro accounts all of which are instantly visible when transactions are made. Any issues are dealt with via the online messaging system and always with a very positive outcome. We love the fact that the bank is constantly looking at ways to improve the customer experience and the live exchange rate that is offered to us. Keep up the brilliant work!

Needs improvement

Used this account for travelling but was let down. several transactions were declined at a large business in an EU country but the funds were earmarked so I couldn’t spend for the rest of the holiday. Customer service on this issue was poor and inconsistent, with different reasons being given each time I contacted them. Had I not had any cash with me or other accounts then this could have left me abroad in a sticky situation. App lags behind its competitors with poor interface and lack of features. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

User friendly banking

I can recommend this product, it has changed my mindset to managing my finances, reduced the extortionate fees I was paying to a high street bank and educated me better on how to bank sensibly. High street banks don’t educate the customer, they simply rip them off for as much money as they can!!! Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Amazing

Best experience ever with any bank Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Fantastic easy to use bank account

What do I love best about my Starling account??? Well apart from the interest earned, the fact I can use it abroad with no charges, the ease of getting through to customer services, the 'spaces' option to save alongside my main account, the 'round-up' option to save a little every time I shop, and the fact that I get alerted the second I use my card, meaning I would know if i lost it and someone else used it, well there is not much to say really! :-) Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

No Drama!

Starling banking is how I like it: unobtrusive. It doesn't make any demands on my time, it's available for whatever I want, whenever I want it. I've actually started boasting about my bank. I mean, come on, getting cocky about my banking choice? Ridiculous... Reviewed on: 20th January 2020
