The very best bank!

5
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

Could not ask for more.

Great online bank

Starling bank is great.. I love having two accounts on two different currencies and how easy is to transfer money between them. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

The only bank to cover everything in their App

5
With most banks, the online App feels like an afterthought. Even Smile is looking dated these days. Starling Bank gives me everything I could wish for in an online bank, and their App is incredibly well thought out. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Early days but all good.

Garmin Pay led me to Starling Bank, not done much yet but the app is clean and stable (my current 'main' banking app is as stable as Donald Trump) & setting up the account was easy as. So far, so good. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Why is it only easy here?

5
Since joining Starling handling my money has never been easier, I know what I’ve got, what I’ve spent and where, all in one easy to use app. The application process was simple as was setting up a joint account. If only other companies were to follow Starlings lead, then life would be so easy! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
