Amazing bank

Excellent customer service, app and features Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

Best banking experience ever

Starling is to banking what the iPhone was to mobile phones back in 2007. Santander, TSB and all the other high street banks are the Blackberries, Nokias and Panasonics of the day. Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

Best Bank Ever

Starling is a fantastic bank which doesn’t fail to disappoint! Their current account gives you great analysis and allows you to understand more about what you are spending your money on! To make it better I opened my account and it was verified in under 5 minutes! Awesome Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

best bank for sure

I am very happy with Starling Bank which not only has the best current account but, unsurprisingly, top class customer service able to find a fair balance between friendliness, humor and professionalism (I think the first almost implies the latter - they cannot be too far away). I got 10 pounds voucher just as a thank you gesture, ex gratia payment to resolve my complain when one day things went wrong, very quickly a replacement card after I was forced to replace it and I can feel that agents go extra mile towards me when they can. The only thing that is less than 5 stars is that the credit cards are yet to be launched and I have high hopes for them. Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

Excellent

I used to be with First Direct but Starling eats that account for breakfast. Reviewed on: 21st November 2019
