Efficient and does what it says on the tin with no gimmicks

I was a little dubious about using a mobile banking app to manage my money after using traditional banks as most people do. I found the whole process of opening a bank account with Starling easy and it has helped me with managing my money. Any issues I've had have been answered swiftly through their customer service reps. It uses no gimmicks and feels like a bank for grown-ups. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Great app and dual currency

5
Really pleased with the bank it’sapp and the Euro account is great Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Starling is what all other banks should aim to be like

5
Sign up was easy especially as I had just moved to the UK. The simple layout of the app gives me all the information I need at a quick glance and the details, including statement for all time periods, are easily accessible when needed. It's super easy to use and the wait for an online chat for assistance is super quick. Sometimes the security features are a bit too secure and can catch you out at the till but a couple of quick changes in the settings sorts most problems out. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020
