Spaces

Love the spaces where you can set saving goals. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy and helpful

Two accounts 1 card (euro/sterling) what could be easier. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Reluctant contactless user

As an senior I was sceptical about contactless but as an avid coffee shop user and park walker I had to go contactless to visit the places I like -my sons recommended Starling and after signing up easily I became a user !! It has made my coffee trips an elegant experience and I know exactly what I am spending Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Just brilliant

The Starling process of opening an account is as easy as it should be! No more faffing with going into a branch, waiting in line, producing documents. The debit card arrived so quickly and the packaging was insane, it looked like an invitation to a plush party. Great rates for using money abroad. Easy to save money for stuff by putting it in a little 'pocket' so you can't get your grubby mits on it. I've recommended to all my friends who travel/pay for things abroad. Obviously it's a dream for domestic use as well. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best banking experience ever

So glad I switched to starling a few months ago! It has been absolute bliss. Customer service team is a dream to deal with via chat. So good even my partner switched to them. Happy Starling household Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy access to my money anywhere in the world

Easy to use app putting me in control of my money. Great communication about what I have spent immediately. No fees for using my card abroad Use my card on my apple phone Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

fantastic service all round!

set up a joint account through Starling. it took only a few minutes and my partner and i are managing our finances together! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Never looked back

I joined Starling in 2007 after seeing an advert online. I have had two other main current account providers and found both to be average. I’ve always struggled to save and often found it hard to monitor my spending. Starling is fantastic and the options for saving are so motivating that I have more savings that debts for the first time in my adult life. I also travel and using starling without fees has saved me so much money. Their customer service is great; replying quickly to any questions. I have already had five friends and family members all join and they are very happy to. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best little Bank in the West.

I don't miss the chequebook. I don't miss the queues and I don't miss the indifferent staff. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best bank ever

After passing security checks, the accessibility of this bank is very good. Every purchase that is made on your card is summarised by a pie chart. The instant notifications when you use your card is very handy and you even have an option to round up every transaction to add to a personal saving fund. Should you choose to take advantage of the option. The bank also shows any pending money that is arriving the day before. I cannot fault the technicality of this bank at all. Best of all, there is no monthly charge to use your card, like most other online banks. I've only been with them for a few months so its early days. But so far so good.
