Best bank in the UK. A game changer

Decades ahead of the traditional banks. They show clear insight into what UK banking customers need, often before they know it themselves. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Brilliant!!

Before joining Starling Bank I'd search for hours for a bank that offers the exactly features I needed (instant transactions shown on your account, mobile based, easy set up process, Apple Pay integration) for me starling is the only bank anyone should consider. business or personal finances starling has it all!

Love them!

Perfect all round! Great customer service Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Amazing Banking and Simple to use

Absolutely a fab banking service. The app is amazing. Easy to use even for those older ones. Tells you when everything is due to come out. If funds needs to be added and the best thing all contactless and debit card payments taken immediately. 10/10! Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Makes managing my money a breeze!

I've been with Starling for about 6 months now, and I'm planning to close my HSBC account and go all-in with Starling. The Spaces feature makes it easy to save money when paired with Round-Ups, and knowing what I'm actually spending my money on (food vs travel vs entertainment etc) makes managing my monthly budget much easier Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Best business ever!!

I could not miss the opportunity to rave about Starling bank. There are soooo many things that can be said about the company that I don't know where to start! ... - I couldn't believe how easy it was to set up an account. The bank is easy to set up and use via my mobile. - Starling have the best app I have ever used. It works efficiently. No problems ever! -Starling staff are brilliant, really friendly, knowledgeable, patient and all-round AWESOME and always resolved my problems...simply. They provide the type of service you wish every company would provide. They also seem to be available at any time. - I love the instant transaction updates via the app and the notifications - I love the opportunity to save and create spaces within my account - makes budgeting easy peasy. - I love the 'rounding up' option to help save for things. For the first time, I could pay for Christmas without getting into debt...wahoo! - I get interest...for the first time in my life and I have had many bank accounts. -They have transformed my budgeting and now I'm finally managing to get out of debt and no longer go overdrawn - I love being able to draw down money and put back money - I love having my account details on the mobile, not really needing my card -I love not worrying that anyone can steal my bank card beacuse I can control my finance online. - I love the option of giving people my card to purchase things on my behalf (contactless) without any worry. -I love the different coloured cards (although it would be good to have different coloured joint account cards) - I love that my whole family can finally manage their money easily -I love the fact that Starling is now connected to Quickbooks (although I wish Quickbooks was as good as Starling!!) - I basically love this company so much. It values, ethos, encouraging newsletters and generally how it runs itself. I thank God for it and may it continue to bless many more people and be an example to many other companies and banks (especially my other bank First Direct) of how to run a proper good business...well! P.S. sorry for the rambling. :D Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020
