Amazing bank

Great customer service, the app is incredible and works smoothly Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Easy, transparent, great app

Interested to try a challenger bank. Switching was easy. Information clear and straightforward. App is easy to use and I like being able to analyse my expenditure and easily set money aside for special reasons eg Christmas.. I like having a bank with brand new IT systems that doesn’t have to compromise because it uses legacy systems. I have a lot of confidence because it is run by a woman.

Banking made simple

5
I started off using this bank as my pocket money account to keep my spending separated from my main account. I was surprised at how easy it was to open an account and to be set up and running. Everything about this bank is simple. I’ve had no problems with them and I would defo recommend anyone to get one. Upon all of this they have help me to save extra money by rounding my spending up very nice little feature that my main bank doesn’t do. I have now made the move to Starling bank as my one and only.

Starling knows what exactly customers expect and delivers on it! Starling is the only bank i've actually switched to! Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

A bank with customer (experience) at the heart of their operation

5
I started looking for an alternative to high street banks because their solutions are too broad. Along comes challenger banks, and I read a lot of reviews before diving in. I actually signed up with two providers. In almost every area, Starling came up tops. The speed of registration, speed of verification, speed I received my debit card, look and feel of the APP, ability to pay in cash at post offices etc. I simply love Starling. A bank that listens to it's customers. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019
