Lot More Control and Visibility

5
I used to do all my current account banking through TSB. But Starling Bank really has so many more cool features that are just not present with TSB. The app is so fast and quick. You get realtime visibility of your spend and balance. You get excellent analysis of your spend. Customer service support is top notch. Payment request - no need to share your bank details, just send a link and get them to pay on a debit card. And you get to use your card abroad without worrying about add on charges. I have nothing to say but good words for my experience with Starling Bank so far. I have been recommending the bank to my friends and family and anyone who hasn't already heard of it, is immediately interested by what it has to offer. I have stopped using some of my other reward based cards to shop as the value of the additional visibility of my spending and how much this helps me far outweighs the value of any benefit offered by reward cards. Particularly where some transactions on other bank cards take several days before they appear on your statement. Reviewed on: 7th November 2019

The best bank possible

5
Considering the features and the competition, no other bank simply comes close - except Monzo - but Monzo is still not as good as starling, for many reasons! Absolutely second to none. Happy customer for 3 years! Reviewed on: 7th November 2019

Intuitive and reliable

5
Being with Starling is so easy. I know straight away when a transaction happens on my account, I can spend abroad with no charges and see how much I have spent in both currencies. I also find the spaces more motivating for saving, because you can break it into pots by purpose and I have my transactions set to round up automatically into my savings. Also the card controls and the super quick in-app customer service make it really easy to manage my account. My partner and I use a joint account for bills too, I love that you have to be in the same room to sign up together, it really adds to what is quite an exciting moment!
