Best bank ever

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

Fantastic

5
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

1
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

5
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

An excellent bank

Sterling works really easily and well. Instant notifications are fantastic and it's really simple to keep tabs on incomings, outgoings and your budget. Reviewed on: 8th January 2020

Practical

5
Starling bank app is a well-organised and practical app. Reviewed on: 8th January 2020

Easy, reliable, no ridiculous fees.

5
I have banked at Coutts for years and became sick of all the charges and how difficult it was to do anything with my money or keep an eye on it. I found Starling and now have a current and business account with them which is so simple and easy to use. Reviewed on: 7th January 2020
