Good place for money

I have account in Starling Bank short time, before I use accounts in high street banks. First think when I check it... WOW! Innovations like goals or very smart system overdraft/loan this everything give this bank first place in my finance wallet. Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Fantastic Banking!

Starling (and other Challenger Banks) are the future. So damn convenient, easy to use app, great feature set, fully mobile based, great customer support, instant transaction and DD notifications as well as in-depth spending analysis. In comparison, I was on the phone for 46 minutes (during working hours) with a run of the mill high street bank (one of the big 4) just to make minor changes on my account. Completely archaic practices that are frustrating for the customers and a complete waste of time! I would never ever open another high street bank account and I am genuinely considering closing my existing accounts. Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Great Banking

Really love the app to date and hopefully will only get better in terms of cashing cheques etc via the app. Reviewed on: 8th January 2020

Best Bank

This bank offers all that you need to save and budget. The pots are a brilliant idea. Everything is instant. Go Starling Reviewed on: 8th January 2020

The best personal account

I am very impressed with them and since I became full Starling user I had never looked back Reviewed on: 8th January 2020

Love Starling!

Starling is by far the best bank that I have ever used. They are reliable and trustworthy. Their customer service is wonderful and problems are solved with ease. I would highly recommend them to everyone! Reviewed on: 8th January 2020

Best bank ever

Starling is amazing. Beats every main bank hands down!! Reviewed on: 8th January 2020

Fantastic

Fantastic service from Starling. Extremely simple and fast app. It offers an unrivalled service for use abroad. The control you have of your card use is great, from blocking/unblocking instantly to blocking online payments. It’s my favourite bank to use Reviewed on: 8th January 2020

Not clearly differentiated and weird UX

Poorly differentiated and has fallen behind other new banks. Clearly intended to be bought by a bigger company or to become a platform, neither of which have happened, so uncertain future. Reviewed on: 8th January 2020

So impressed

I have nothing but praise. Customer service is wonderful. The features are great. It’s the mature version of monzo. Reviewed on: 8th January 2020
