So easy

5
Always hated technology but as every bank know to man shuts its doors (we live in the country) we were left with no option but to bank online. My husband found Starling and is so easy to use super efficient and I just love the savings spaces. We do have a post office counter in village shop where I can pay into my account. Perfect Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Banking as it should be: simple and fair!

5
After trying out various competitors (Monzo and Revolut) and having a old-style banking account also (Natwest), I signed up for Starling a few months ago after reading amazing reviews. I can only agree with what everyone is already saying: This is the most straightforward, simple and fair way of banking these days. The app is amazing and what I like the most is that Starling is just focused on making the core functionality the best it can be rather than doing too much of everything adding too much confusion along the way (see Monzo and Revolut). I love Starling and am even considering moving all my banking away from Natwest and to Starling! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simply excellent

Simple and extremely quick to open the account, responsive customer service on the few occasions I’ve needed it, great app that’s easy to use, world-class exchange rates on foreign transactions, really simple fee structure on overdrafts. Simply excellent. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy, safe online banking

Happy Newcomer

I have only recently set up an current account with Starling Bank. However, the process was so easy and stress-free, I would recommend it to anyone. Having had a business account with one of the 'big ones' since 1990, where the bank charges were huge and service much less, Starling to me is like a breath of fresh air.
