Banking made simple.

5
Starling Bank brings very powerful features which banks have been lacking for years. No need to go to a branch or call expensive and busy phone lines, everything is done via their app. I absolutely love my Starling Bank account it's the simplicity Reviewed on: 11th November 2019

Easy, informative, secure banking

5
I first moved my small business account over to starling to take advantage of fee free business banking. But I was so impressed with the service that i trialled a personal account. I found the app so easy to use and full of useful info on spending, payments etc that I did a full transfer and Starling is now my one and only current account. Keep up the good work guys.

The Best

5
Super easy to set up an account, a near flawless app and the card arrived super quick. I adore the fact you don’t get charged fees abroad, you don’t need to inform them when you’re away and you can lock your card in the app. Reviewed on: 10th November 2019

Easy peasy

Simple to use and can keep track of all your spending so easily. Reviewed on: 10th November 2019

I love this bank

5
I love that the app is so user friendly. I love that I can reach a customer support person within a few minutes directly from the app. I love that I can make suggestions to be considered by the development team. Most of all, I love that I can check my balance in seconds whilst stood in the shopping queue and move money from one of my saving 'spaces' into the main account to ensure that I don't go into my overdraft. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 10th November 2019

Starling has given me new insight into how I spend money

5
More visibility of my daily/monthly spending has offered me new insights into how I spend my money. It's so helpful having a real-time view of my current finances. Reviewed on: 10th November 2019

Brilliant company and modern solution

5
Banking made simple. Superb service and app. Reviewed on: 10th November 2019

Fast and easier to manage money

5
The signup process took literal minutes and then I was in. I was able to connect to Google Pay even before my card arrived, letting me start using the account within 10 minutes of downloading the app. The spaces tool is super useful to help split my salary and save without even realising. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 10th November 2019
