Fast, simple, honest bank

The convenient app lets you manage savings pots, your main account and payments all within easy reach. Helpful, friendly & polite customer service agents epitomise what customer service should be. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 15th January 2020

Why wouldn't you have a Starling Bank account?

5
No fees abroad and the best exchange rate. Fantastic user interface and a swanky teal card to boot. Spending analytics that make it easy to budget. The ability to ringfence funds for a rainy day, with an roundup feature that affordably turns pence into saved pounds. Fitbit support. Realtime spending alerts. Need I go on? Banking anywhere else is a fool's game. Reviewed on: 14th January 2020

Great app with amazing features

I have never felt so in control of my spending and saving before I joined Starling. Their very user friendly app allows me to clearly view what I'm spending and what it's getting spent on. This is a bank that is continuously investing in it's user experience and I can't wait to see what new features are coming next. Reviewed on: 14th January 2020

Starling is great, my issues are resolved pretty much instantly, 10/10 bank from me. Notifications are perfect they’re never incorrect, they come right on time and there’s no annoying notifications that aren’t needed. Reviewed on: 14th January 2020

Amazing Bank

5
I used to change banks every 6 months or so and would have 2 or 3 bank accounts on the go at any one time, my bank hopping became so bad that it was a running joke with my friends. The pre-starling ones were all a bit rubbish. I've been a Starling customer since early 2017 and really can't fault them for anything. Their service is reliable, always up to date, make use of modern tech and - the main thing - has some amazing features. My experience with customer service has been flawless and they make things so simple. A recent example of Starlings amazingness was when a relative and I both needed to make very large payments from our accounts. Her 'old guard' bank insisted she call into branch and fill in forms, pay a CHAPS fee or send it over multiple days. Me with Starling - one chat via the app, my faster payment limit was lifted for a while and I was able to send the payment - it was there within the hour. I couldn't recommend Starling enough and really can't understand why everyone doesn't have an account with them. My bank hopping days are over. Reviewed on: 14th January 2020
