How banking should be

5
Opening a Starling Bank account was possibly the easiest thing I did in 2019. A smooth process which has continued with my day to day banking eversince. When I pay contactless or on the very rare occasion when I need to use the actual card (I know I have it somewhere) I receive my digital receipt before the paper winds out of the till. Easy to see what I'm spending and where. Truly banking as it should be. So delighted we have now switched our Business Banking to Starling too and said goodbye to the archaic procedures of the big high street banks and all their silly charges.

Great service, great application and easy.

Have recommended to a number of people and everyone loves it. Great app which is easy to use. A simple debit card free to use around the world. Really time payment information allowing you to know where you are financially. No queuing at branches. Love it. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fantastic, Modern Bank

5
I only wanted a bank that offered a fair deal for managing and spending my money whilst travelling abroad but discovered a bank that exceeded all of my expectations in providing a fantastic current account. It was quick and easy to open, has a great customer interface and offers a healthy rate of interest. Starling Bank shows the competition how modern banking should be done.

Simple and efficient

5
I have current accounts with Lloyds, TSB and Halifax, I added Starling as I wanted a joint account with my wife. The set up is so simple and all at home, I now have a linked savings account, I added my own photo to motivate me, it's just a fresh bank without decades of history restricting it. Love it! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

A fresh take on banking which has encouraged me to go contactless giving me confidence.

5
As an older person I have had concerns about using contactless technology. Starling khas demonstrates how safe this is and gives me real time information. The traditional big banks need to learn from this. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
