Banking but better

You don't know why your bank is terrible until you use Starling Reviewed on: 20th December 2019

Awesome

Just awesome, easy app to use! Amazing overall bank! Reviewed on: 20th December 2019

Better banking

5
I’ve used Starling for quite a long time, not quite as long as they’ve been around but not far . During that time the service offered has gone from strength to strength with very few blunders. The current account offering is, in my opinion, the best out there. Categorised transactions, free foreign spending and a certain sense of style are some of my favourite features. But I’ll look forward to the next innovation they unveil as a disruptive influence to the status quo. Reviewed on: 20th December 2019

Banking as it should be

5
I am old enough to remember the days of having access to the ‘Bank Manager’ or at least a personal account manager and, although I know those day’s are long gone, being able to have greater access to everyday banking and having greater control of transactions is, for me, a huge benefit. Starling Bank provides this and more and I have already encouraged many to consider changing banks. Reviewed on: 20th December 2019

Convenience and simplicity

5
I'm new to app-based banking and opened a Starling current account for multiple currencies whilst on a two month tour involving several countries. The ease and simplicity as well as the convenience I could never have imagined. FANTASTIC! Well done Starling. We are now looking to also open a Starling Business account. I couldn't recommend them enough. Reviewed on: 20th December 2019

Great

5
Its great, simple to use via the app Reviewed on: 20th December 2019

Great service all round

5
I opened a Starling bank account about a year ago. It gives me instant information on everything I spend and commission free transactions whenever I'm abroad. I've never had to contact the customer service team simply because I've never had a problem. Very impressed. Reviewed on: 20th December 2019
