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.

Best account

A bank that cares. No fuss, nothing is to difficult for the customer services. Money where and when I want it. Thank you Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best service, app and value.

Excellent app and features. Unbeatable overseas costs. Best open banking integration. Excellent. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Perfect for home and abroad!

I recently travelled to India, where you can only get the Indian currency once in India. My Starling card was great for both the exchange rate and ATM availability. My friends struggled to find a bank to exchange their British pounds, and had to pay high exchange rates at our hotels. Plus, I get a message on my phone telling me what I have just withdrawn, shortly after the transaction in GBP . It is very easy to transfer to or from my account via my mobile, what ever country I am in. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy to with.

Great bank. Very easy to work with both on the phone and online. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

First class

The company has a first class customer service team and the ability to use the card anywhere without change is a big advantage for travel and instant notifications when a payment is made makes it a fantastic bank Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
