Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Simply the best bank i've ever been with

5
The title says it all but really just an overall fast and high quality service from a caring team with ZERO bank fees. Everything is managed through the phone app, and slowly now getting more and more access via the website. I could not recommend them enough, Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

AMAZING

So happy best current account ive ever had. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

I now understand my finances in a way I never could before.

5
My wife has always been the accountant in our family, I’ve never understood where all our money live and what we spend it on and when. Since getting Starling I’ve been able to see regular updates of what’s coming in and what’s going out so I understand our financial position so much better than I did before. On top of that, the round up savings goals and spaces make saving super easy, something I’ve always struggled with. Whenever I’ve had issues too, the online support chat has been extremely helpful and understanding. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Easy to use and excellent customer service

5
Starling bank is very easy to set up and use but also very secure. I have so many more features than other bank I have/do use. I can keep a much better track of my money and the customer service is also a massive plus. I can contact them 24/7 to get help, which you can't do with high street banks. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

10/10 could not say a word wrong no wonder my sibling recommended me he has a first class honors degree with best assignment within the whole faculty then did a masters and is currently doing his PHD he works and lives in Westminster and is financial services associate if this clever lad who is a sibling tells me Starling is good I don’t need anything else having set up current accounts and joint accounts and a new business account it could not be simpler and better than the high street banks Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Truly helpful, modern banking from Starling

5
Thanks to Starling, saving has become easy for me - the ease of the user-friendly app and ability to create and manage my own goals and represent these visually - I have been making huge steps towards becoming more financially resilient, in a way that just wasn’t achievable for me previously. Thank you Starling, for truly understanding what your customers want and need from a bank in the modern world. I regularly recommend Starling to friends, colleagues and family.
