So easy compared to Asian banks

5
Came over from Asia and was surprised how easy it was to open an account, how easy the app was to use and how simple everything was. Amazing. A breath of fresh air. Reviewed on: 28th November 2019

Amazing banking experience for the modern world

5
I have a personal and business account with Starling and their app is beyond compare. They are light years ahead of high street banks with the services they offer plus all the amazing partners they have on their marketplace. The tech is fantastic, API-based, cloud native with real-time payments built in. Best bank in the UK without a doubt. Reviewed on: 28th November 2019

Fantastic App Based Banking

I have had a current account with an established bank for years, but since switching to Starling, I have been shown what benefits I can get from my banking in an easy to use and access banking app. I can speak to helpful advisors easily and track where I am spending my money. Great stuff! Reviewed on: 27th November 2019
