Great way to spend abroad

Great exchange rate when using this account abroad, and your balance is always exactly up to date with instant notification of spending. Superb experience. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Banking and advice

I wish with every fibre of my being that I could influence everyone to bank with Starling. I love how my Account is handled- every time I spend I get a notification of what is left in my balance- how cool is that! I just wished Starling was around when I was young and working. They deserve all accolades available. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

So much more open than traditional High Street banks

5
Having used quite a number of the big named High Street banks over the last 40+ years, this is the first bank where I feel they're not just in it for them. The customer counts. Easy of use, and of course open 24 /7 with a handy app, I had no hesitation in recommending them to 2 of my older grand children. Well done Starling, keep doing more of the same Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best decision I made in 2019

5
Full control and visibility of all transactions. Saves half a day a month balancing account versus statement. So easy to use, and customer service is quick to respond and helpful. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best bank experience

5
I have a current and a Euro account and found it very easy to setup. The app gives you a lot of information on your spending and instant alerts when you spend is very useful. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Brilliant, easy and simple

5
Just so simple and easy to setup and use. All banks should be like this. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fantastic bank

5
So easy to interact with this bank and use my account. Banking as it should be. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best Bank

5
Best Bank i really love starling it made my life easier and made baking also easier Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy interface and useful alerts

5
The banking experience as a whole was incredibly simple. Being able to open an account through the app/ online was brilliant as it was a really straightforward process. Using the app is incredibly easy and it’s really helpful having ‘spaces’ to divert savings too. Because these are areas of your current account you don’t need to worry about putting money into each of them like an ISA etc. and have the responsibilities of managing savings accounts.

Awesome banking
