Top Marks all round

Me and my wife have recently set up personal accounts and also a joint account which were both very easy to do and the mobile app is very easy to use but also very effective like the way it categorize all of the merchants you spend with and also the way it notifies you every time a transaction is made.

Smart, loyal and quick!

5
Super easy to open an account, very intelligent in notification and user friendly mobile app. Super easy to exchange into Euros and beautiful customer service. I love it and stay with it. A Few areas to improve like online account management, generating pdf statements, Euro notes withdrawals and then it would be the best in the UK. Reviewed on: 12th January 2020

Intuitive smart account that removes money anxieties

5
Have been using Starling’s current account for about 3 months and it’s been so... calming! I know where every penny is going - or about to go and realised I overcommit to many things. The Goals element remove so much hassle and worry about budgeting. I have been rather evangelical about this account and have been recommending to work colleagues, friends and family... brilliant product with smart features. Reviewed on: 12th January 2020

Everything is so easy.

5
Imagine being able to open a bank account from your own bed! That’s how easy this was. The goal option is great and whilst it’s not a huge draw, it makes a nice little pit over time. The instant notification is always great and the app itself is clear, concise and simple to use. I can’t recommend this enough. Reviewed on: 12th January 2020
