A bank on another level!

Works as a bank should work

So easy but great security. Instant notification on transactions Reviewed on: 13th January 2020

Modern banking at its finest

5
It is hard to come across a modern bank that sets itself up in such a way that Starling does. Not only does it give me the feeling of safety banking with an old school bank, but it also gives me all of the modern perks and benefits that I want from a 21st-century bank!

Amazing

5
Starling Bank has changed the way I look after my money. It's easy to survive on a small income because of all the amazing things I can do on the app. And customer service on the phone is great too. Straight through for a wee chat anytime. Don't need to work through numerous menu choices. Reviewed on: 13th January 2020

So far ahead of any other on-line bank.

5
I have been hugely impressed with Starling Bank, easy to apply, instructions in 'plain English'. I have used on-line banking for years but Starling Bank are streets ahead of the competition. I have already recommended this bank to several family members and friends. Give it a go, I promise you will be impressed. Reviewed on: 13th January 2020

Fast app, this is the future of banking.

Recommended the product to a few friends and family and a few of us have made the switch from a traditional bank. Reviewed on: 13th January 2020

Best bank I have ever had

5
I have been using starling for about 3 years now and is by far the best current account I have had, everything pops up straight away, I can easily control my spendings etc as well as put money away in pots and know whenever a direct debit is going to come out. Thanks Starling! Reviewed on: 13th January 2020

Helpful and smart from top to bottom. More like talking to a friend than a bank. Reviewed on: 13th January 2020
