Amazing

The app is amazing to navigate and notifications are instant it’s also got fantastic tools for saving all in one account which eliminates having multiple accounts and it’s easy to keep track of what money went where and exact times !! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Intuitive, simple and easy to use. Just the best bank account with app.

I’ve used this for my current account for the past year and can not recommend it enough. It is user centred in its design has all the features you need and security is sensible and secure without the faff of extra devices. Makes life super simple. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Definitely recommended!

I love everything about this account. The app is superb and easy to navigate, I also like the "Places" feature of the app. I can think of nothing I could either criticise or improve. 10/10 from me Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

How a bank should be

5
I already recommend Starling to my friends, family and work colleagues. I have both the personal and business accounts and they are so useful. I travel a lot for work, and Starling is the best bank out there for foreign transactions. I also love being able to add a photo of my receipts to each transaction at the time it happens, rather than having to wait 2 days for it to show up on my statement like with traditional banks. I've often lost the receipt or spilled coffee on it by then! Everyone who works there seems lovely, full of common sense and any questions are dealt with quickly and in a friendly manner. There isn't much more you could ask for from a bank! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fast, convenient and easy to use App.

5
Best bank I have used. Love the instant notifications when you spend a show it divides your spend into categories to easily see where your money is going. Great savings pots with round up options when you spend. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Free cash withdrawals abroad

I travel abroad many times a year. I saved so much money, thank you to starling bank. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simple, efficient and user-friendly

5
In the summer of 2019, I looked into the various digital challenger banks for setting up a new current account ahead of a trip abroad. I wanted something simple, efficient and good looking (not unlike myself) and with no overseas withdrawal fees. The only bank ticking all my boxes appeared to be Starling Bank, and so far I have been proven right! The sign-up process on the app was very quick and I received my debit card within a couple of days presented in a very snazzy welcome card. The app is so easy to use and is organised beautifully. Would highly recommend based on my experience so far! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
