Easy to use, incredibly helpful

5
I've found the banking app to be the easiest I've used by far with incredibly helpful features like card information, spending habits breakdowns, and the customer service chat. All have been positive experiences. I especially find rounding up my spends to be saved in a separate pot amazing as it helps me save little and often throughout the month. I was apprehensive about not having a branch to visit but it's been far easier than any traditional bank so far. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Starling gives me all that I need at my fingertips.

Starling gives me all that I need at my fingertips. So easy to transact with them. Using pots and virtual cards means I am saving so much more money! it’s really important to me that they are careful who they lend to as this aligns to my values. The setup process was inspiringly simple whilst secure. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Very intuitive and very well thought out and powerful app. The saving spaces which is like having different bank accounts for expenses is brilliant. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Free cash Deposits

I like everything that the app and all the features the only thing I'm not liking is that starling charge for you to put cash into your bank from the post office.So to avoid this I put the money into my Halifax account and transfer this way as Halifax don't charge my to put money in to my account from a post office. Then I transfer to my starling account Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Cannot praise Starling Bank enough

Cannot praise Starling Bank enough for the most user friendly, super informative current bank account. The least complicated bank account to open in a very timely manner. Debit card also sent out super quick. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
