A bank which you are excited to have. Who would have thought it.

5
Overall, the app and customer service is brilliant. There hasn't been one problem using the product and with all the added features over my normal bank, it's a joy to use. The ability to track transactions by merchants has helped me cut down on unnecessary spending and helps towards budgeting each month. I can't wait to see what other features they bring out that will help with budgeting. Reviewed on: 7th November 2019

Greatest and easiest bank EVER

5
Starling always make banking so easy, I opened my account in just 5 minutes when I was on my lunch break, and after all the security checks I was able to use my card THE SAME DAY with Apple Pay! I love banking with starling specially when I am aboard, I usually go to France, Portugal or buying goods in internet in another currency but with starling is 100% FREE even using ATM has no extra charge. I’ve been baking with starling for about one year now and it’s the only bank I need. Now I have Current, Euro and business account with this bank and I love it. Reviewed on: 7th November 2019

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
