For richer, for poorer and till death do us part. Starling Bank, I do. Reviewed on: 12th November 2019

The best newcomer!

I've had a starling account for just under a year now and its certainly not disappointed me! The account was so simple to set up, the card came within a few days and my wages now go into that account with ease. I love how the bank notifies you straight away of any incoming payment or outgoing payments and the account is real time meaning I'm not left wondering if that my balance is actually correct as with some banks. You have done your customers proud starling! Reviewed on: 12th November 2019

Best by far

Constant improvements, Amazing layout and control

This bank makes banking a lot easier to understand, with instant notifications and 24/7 assistance via message, call or email; you can resolve any issues, if you have any. Starling is not only designed simple and modern, but it gives you control and the ability to see your spending, restrict your spending and more. Very pleased, this bank is the future.

Starlings Have landed

I’m not a lover of starlings they are greedy overpowering bullies that clean you out, that’s the bird I’m talking about Starling the Bank completely the opposite, they are friendly, not bullies, and they actually give something back, something other banks and the birds wouldn’t dream of, I finally have complete confidence in a bank. Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 12th November 2019

I have had a Starling account for a long time now and still nothing to complain about. Great app and transactions all kept up to date. Reviewed on: 12th November 2019

Great bank

5
I love the clarity that comes with my bank account. Being able to clear see where my money is going is really helpful. I love the goal setting savings feature. I especially appreciate how easy it is to request money from my daughter via settle up. I am pleased to have the instant notification of any transaction on my account. I was very pleased to know we can deposit money via the post office. not only is this more convenient than struggling with high street parking for traditional banks, it also contributes to keeping post offices operational when so many seem to be closing down which is a real loss for the community. Go Starling! Reviewed on: 12th November 2019
