Happy new customer

5
Easy access on my phone, simple to use, seamless transfer, actually pay me some interest. Very happy. Reviewed on: 9th November 2019

Slick app well thought out proposition

5
App is light years ahead of other banks, generous credit and debit interest and free spending overseas. Telephone customer service is effective and proactive Reviewed on: 9th November 2019

Great all round

5
Moved from HSBC to Starling and have had a great experience all round. Everything just works and the app has loads of great features which HSBC did/does not. Starling is easy to use, HSBC is a pain to use Reviewed on: 8th November 2019

Fantastic bank

5
This is a great bank with a great app. No issues with any aspects of the service and love the forward thinking! Reviewed on: 8th November 2019

Bloody Brilliant

5
Just so simple and easy to use, if Apple made a bank it would be Starling. Such a difference compared to TSB who I do still have an account with but who are making it harder and harder to deal with. Soon I will close my TSB account and just solely use Starling. Reviewed on: 8th November 2019

It just works

5
Only good experience and at the same time developing further offers such as an EUR account with the same card. Reviewed on: 8th November 2019

Does everything perfectly

5
Love the design and feel of the app, round up feature is awesome, spaces are easy to use, instant notifications are great and spending abroad is made easy. Everything I need it to perfectly. Reviewed on: 8th November 2019

Just works

5
It works flawlessly. I have been using it since I came to the UK and it has been a perfect banking experience. Reviewed on: 8th November 2019

My favourite bank, innovative and forward thinking.

5
I’ve had a starling account for over a year and love it. It has so many more features than the more traditional banks, and their customer service is second to none. I’ve never missed the fact they don’t have physical branches, as you can pay in at the post office. Perfect! Reviewed on: 8th November 2019

Super fast and easy

5
The spaces feature makes budgeting for different expenses super easy and all transactions do show up in the app straight away. Reviewed on: 8th November 2019
