Just Brilliant Banking

5
joined Starling in its infancy just needing a card to use on my honeymoon to Florida. Since we came back I have steadily moved almost all my banking over to starling because they just do everything so simple and instantaneous. I cannot praise them more. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

So easy

5
I use my card abroad and home with ease no need to exchange money and I like that the saving pot doesn’t show on my balance screen so I can forget that it’s there saving up nicely for my holiday, just drawing cash abroad would make this card unbeatable Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great bank

Great rate of interest and easy to use Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Sensible, simple banking for busy people

5
I moved to Starling after 20-odd years with an old-fashioned bank, and I haven't regretted it for a second. The app is simple to use and gives me lots of scope to develop my own categories to manage my money, and gives me 'spaces' to move my cash to so that I don't spend it, without messing round sending money between accounts. The Settle Up function makes it really easy to get people to pay me back when I pick up the bill or fork out for a joint present. I would like to be able to access it through the web as well as my phone, and I am cautious about the implications of losing my phone as it's now essential to my banking, but apart from that, I am completely happy.

New way of banking

5
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

5
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. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
