I've found the service in particular to be excellent. I've had few queries to be honest as the app is so reliable but when I have I have received prompt replies and clear explanations. I also love the app which makes day-to-day banking and saving easy and a joy to use. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy

Got a current account for travelling as they offer great options for using your bank abroad. Now with the easy access of this bank and the great service I have received looking to making this bank my primary account Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simply Sophisticated

5
I’ve always had a guarded relationship with banks as I have never managed my money well. I’ve always paid my debts though. Starling started me on the road to getting to grips with staying in the black whilst reducing my debt. Direct Debits, Standing Orders, Monet goals and the amazing text messages that give me time to keep in the black and stop payments being made. I’m 61and have found it easy least to navigate and I love the security even when they tell me my card is at first declined when using Contactless. Starling is super smart and I murmur it to all I meet. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Very pleased with the service and the product.

Easy to use and very convenient for travel abroad. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Top notch bank

5
Starling is, in my view, a top notch bank because it is so use friendly. I have longed for a bank that makes it easier for me to budget my expenses and savings. The app works well on both iPhone and iPad and the ability to offset goal savings against any overdraft charges is great. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fantastic App

5
Great no frills account with no overseas fees for cash withdrawals or payments. Great app that lets you keep abreast of goings on Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Excellent

5
Really easy to set up and card arrived really quick. No hassles Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Brilliant

5
My first experience of a bank account that sends alerts straight away to show the payment. It is particularly useful when used abroad as it shows straight away the likely amount converted to be taken from the account. It is also very easy to send money abroad and the cost involved for this is much smaller than using a high street bank I love this bank account precisely for these reasons Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
