Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Great bank- everything you want in a bank!

Very impressed with this bank. Everything you could want in a bank. Easy to set up, great app, instant adjustments and notifications of your spending, analyses your spending, very quick setting up of "piggy bank" spending accounts, that Starling call "spaces" that you can goals for. So easy to transfer money between when needed. Notifications of direct debits that will be leaving you account- perfect tools for managing your money and being in control of your finances!

Brilliant bank with instant transaction alerts to your phone when ever you use your card. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

So easy to use

Since starting with Starling I can honestly say I've never looked back. The experience has been so easy from setting up, to money saving tips. The app is so user friendly too. Give it a go you won't look back either. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Just works. Well.

Clean. Simple. Efficient. Nothing more is needed. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Excellent and complete service

from online to the app to customer service this is 100% the best bank service I’ve ever had. No waiting on the lines to speak to an advisor everything is fast and efficient would recommend to anyone looking at making a switch from a current bank Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Digital Banking just as it should be.

If Carling made banks it would be Starling Bank. This is exactly how digital banking should look and work. Staff are superb at resolving issues. Banking App flows exactly as it should. The only negatives are they’re not signed up to the PayM scheme. Whilst their own version is pretty good but PayM is the slick and easy way to make secure payments to friends or businesses without the risk of entering the wrong sort code or account number.

Amazing

The app is so easy to use, and any queries are answered by real people on the in app chat usually within minutes! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Step up from high street banks!

Swapped from a high street bank and glad I did. App is user friendly, looks good and has so many features. I can control my money much easier and see what I spend the most on every month to help budget for the future. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Digital at it's best!

Was a little apprehensive about an online only account, concerns about, what if I have a cheque to pay in, who can I speak to if i have a problem. I found that all these queries were all answered, need to deposit, go to the post office, need to chat use the app, queries answered in than 24 hours. The app it self it great! I find instant notifications a great help. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
