New way of banking

Hassle free and honest banking, wish I'd switched sooner. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Banking made simple.

5
Easiest app for personal banking. Always a friendly heads up of every transaction and if your short before a bill comes out, yet again they give you a warning unlike other banks. Simply fantastic. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Banking as it should be

Starling makes personal (including joint accounts) banking as it should be. Easy and secure access to your account; immediate tracking of spending and income; excellent customer service available 24/7; easy to use and effective tools for managing savings, budgetting, transferring funds; a brilliant app. Starling has transformed how I manage my money.

Excellent Service & Excellent product

5
As an old school banking customer, now a pensioner, I find the Starling experience to be a life, well money, changer. Simplicity of use and totally mobility make access and payments almost enjoyable. I would recommend the service to anyone young or old. My wife has an account and we also share a joint account. Now having more time to travel the free use of the service abroad is tremendous. Nothing else to say, totally satisfied, not something I thought I would ever say about a bank. Thank you. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best bank account ever

5
I joined Starling last year after reading about it on Martin Lewis Moneysavingexpert website, I was looking for the best way to spend abroad, the process of opening the account was quick and easy, which cannot be said for other more traditional banks. I deposited money over several months for an upcoming holiday, no fees for using while abroad, use the cash machine as you would in this country and interest paid on a positive balance, what more could you want from a bank, customer service is great, they are friendly and helpful, would highly recommend Starling Bank to anyone, the new future of banking.
