I have been with Starling virtually since it opened and am extremely happy with them. I was so impressed with my personal account I opened a couple of business accounts too and the services they provide coupled with the thoroughly professional customer service is impeccable! Thank you, Starling - you are what I and probably millions of others have been waiting for! Reviewed on: 7th January 2020

Great Bank

Love the app. It's easy to use. Money is safe. Lots of great features and 1000x better than most high street banks. Money transfers within seconds. You can use your current card to withdraw Euros in Euros so no silly currency converter charge. Most forward thinking Fintech Bank out there. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Just perfect

5
When setting up any account there always seems to be hoops that need to be jumped through. Setting up both my Starling current account and my Starling Business accounts were so easy and straight forward with the added benefit of being able to control from your smartphone. Just as my heading says this is just perfect. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

A Revolutionary Bank

Account was super quick & easy to open - no headaches. I love the app - user friendly interface, can personalise payees with pics which adds a little fun to banking! Spaces make it super easy to set money aside & save & I love it all! Customer service is a simple chat feature with fast response times & friendly, helpful team. Starling Bank are a breath of fresh air in what is regarded as a stuffy, old industry! Banking for modern times & people! Reviewed on: 6th January 2020
