Amazing Bank better than high street ones

Banking with starling is totally simple and helpful. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great product, easy to budgey

5
The account was simple and quick to set up. The app enables me to budget my money so much more easily and keep an eye on what I'm spending and where on a monthly basis. I use this account as my 'spending' account. Great features such as foreign exchange rates. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Starling Bank - an Oasis in the Banking world.

5
Starling Bank appears to have a unique approach in todays market place. It is one of a few Banks that trys to put customers first unlike most of the major Banks who seam to hold no respect for loyal, long serving customers. Their systems give the impression of being modern and run by people who understand the customer facing challenges and take interest in their customer views. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

New bank new ideas

Instant notifications ,just a modern bank that works well Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fantastic bank!

5
Reporting on any aspect of your account income and expenditure at the touch of a button. Fantastic and friendly customer service provided 24/7 via instant chat within the app or over the phone. No waiting in queues listening to repetitive elevator music sampled with voiceover ads about how great your bank is etc because this great bank will call you back if you press 1! ;) Easy to lodge cash at any post office that offers counter services and free atm withdrawals which some other well known online banks don’t offer. Can’t recommend Starling enough and I use them for my business as well as my personal banking. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

How banking should be

5
Starling is no doubt the future of banking. It's instant and convenient, easy to understand and full of features, secure and oh boy does it look slick on a smartphone. Never has being in full control of your money and pending been so easy as with Starling's brilliant current account and accompanying debit card (including seamless Apple Pay link). I still use, and will continue to use, a hughstreet bank for my mortgage, serious savings and investing - but for everyday banking and spending, Starling is the way to go.

I got introduced to Starling Bank through a Facebook ad. It was easy to set up and as well to use. The debit card is awesome. Latest tech of dual currency debit card is a must appreciable thing. I'm loving it! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

The very best bank!

Without a doubt the best financial decision I’ve ever made, what a fantastic app, helpful customer service team always on hand if you need to ask anything. How can a bank be branchless and faceless yet make you feel so valuable and as if you’re part of something? Couldn’t recommend it enough! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
