Best bank I've been with.

5
Starling is so easy and intuitive to use, the round up function makes saving so easy and effortless, so much so it's enabled me to afford a holiday to Japan. Everything is at your fingers including help when it's required Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

The best challenger bank

5
Slick app, zero FX, and payment notifications. What more could you want? Unlike some other challengers, rather than just talking about features, actually implements them. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

It just works!

5
Convenient, hassle-free banking all done through the beautifully designed mobile app. Helpful and friendly customer service team through the app is responsive to requests and questions. Being able to deposit cash at post offices without a charge for personal accounts is a big plus. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Excellent service

5
I’ve had a Starling bank account for almost two years now. When I’ve had to contact them they have always been very quick to respond and helpful in sorting out any problems I’ve had. I love that they are clear about what fees (or lack of fees) are charged when using my card abroad - it gives an open and honest vibe to banking with Starling. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Amazing bank

5
From ease of use to knowing where you stand with your money instantly, to the webchat service it’s an amazing bank and recommend to anyone Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Great product with more to come :)

5
I had had enough of crazy charges from Barclays and stumbled across Starling. I like the fact i can make purchases in foreign currencies and i don’t have to pay a fee. As well as using it abroad, so far in Portugal and Dubai and I got fantastic rates. Customer service is on point and prompt. Definitely a bank for everyone, even if you don’t travel because they are transparent :) Keep up the good work :) Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

The bank of the future

5
I cannot express enough about how happy I am ever since I started to use starling bank account. I travel around the world for work and nothing comes close to starling banks fee-free service. I never had to call or chat or contact the customer service of my bank because I never had a problem or issue, whether I am home or abroad. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Simple Easy Banking

5
I've been with Starling a few months now and I absolutely love it. So easy to setup, easy to use, easy to seeing where you are spending. Simple and clear display on the app. Just how a bank should be. I'll be moving over our joint accounts very soon Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Brilliant Bank

5
Banking with Starling is brilliant!! The app is so easy to use and navigate, managing money has never been so easy!! The spaces feature is super handy and by far my favourite feature!! Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

It's so simple

5
It's really easy to use. No issues with payments. I love the app, it's packed with features and easier to use than the online banking from traditional banks, and everything happens so quickly. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019
