Banking made easy.

5
All you need is the app which is so easy to use. I get notifications every time money goes in or out of my account. Free spending abroad and insights into my spending. Use the post office to deposit cash. Its free banking, and even get interest on my account. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

No fees, there are no limits even if you shop & withraw cash abroad. Never had any issues with it. Best bank you could find. (Much better than Monzo, Monese, n26 etc) Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Easy

5
Just everything is so easy with these guys. Account setup, controling your money, setting up saving spaces. It's just so damn easy to do everything ! Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

A perfect balance of advancement and simplicity.

5
I was with the 'other' neobank for a while. They were good enough, but were piling on features for too frequently and the experience became confusing and convoluted. I switched to Starling for the clarity, ease of use, and overall 'smartness' of the app experience. I am very happy and Starling happily ticks along day-by-day without much effort from me. This is how it should be. Great features as and when you need them but not overbearing or overloaded. A brilliant bank for brilliant people. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Banking the way it should be

5
Whilst their team are still a little new (they’re very helpful still!) this app-only bank is fantastic - constant evolution, notifications of spending, upcoming direct debits and payments just to name a few! Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Modern bank for modern times

5
Starling bank is a modern bank for modern times. The app is excellent, has great features and the offering is backed up with excellent customer service. The company seems like a "grown up" challenger bank with an open approach and a strong social media presence. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019
