I use my Starling account on a regular basis. Whenever I need to check my account, the mobile app loads up quickly and the information I need is only a few clicks away. For example, if you forgot your PIN, with traditional banks this would have posed a big issue, but with Starling just log in and in just a few minutes you'll have it. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019

The only bank you need

The best banking service ever ! Everything you need from a bank account. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

So user friendly!

I have never regretted moving to Starling. Their app is so easy to use! Gone are the days of having to take a trip down town to a branch with reams of paperwork. Everything is online. My wife and son have now also moved over to Starling too. I have a personal account, a joint account with my wife and a savings account. I have encountered NO problems using Starling. I can't recommend them highly enough! Well done Starling! Keep it up! Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Best bank out there!

5
Love Starling so much - quick onboarding, great user experiences across the board, friendly staff in times of crisis, and what amazing people leading, managing, and building products! I have probably signed up 50 people to Starling - it's the first thing I recommend, regardless of the question! Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

best bank by far

starling is the easiest bank to deal with the app is fantastic for every banking need and the customer service is spot on Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Easy to use, does everything I want it to do

5
The app is good, it was easy to sign up and had no issues whatsoever yet. Really like the instant spending notifications and the ability to spend abroad with no fees. Also, the insights tools are useful for doing end of month budget, although I wish there was a way to exclude certain payments from the summary as often moving money around will be seen as a 'payment'. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Best bank ever

Anne Boden and her team of digital wizards have created a bank which is soo easy to use, understandable and informative. It also makes customers relationship with money much better and helps with categorising bills and payments. Money instantly leaving the person’s balance and notifying them the payment has gone through. Personally I have even dumped by main stream bank and now only use Starling Bank. Wherever I go I promote them. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019
