Probably the best bank

5
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

Control And Effectiveness

5
The app provides a great user experience. Support team is kind and competent and available. I feel I have full control over my finances, what goes in/out and where. Plus, great exchange rates when using abroad. Joint account is very helpful too. Plus, they keep improving. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Revolutionary Bank in the palm of your hand

5
Signed up to starling to see what they were like (like I had with other "APP Banks") but after 6 months...only starling is left on my phone. They are streamlined, dont bombard you with other things you may not need. If you want to see them, there is a market place to have a look at. Great rates, UK bank, trustworthy and transparent. We have also progressed to hosting some of our Commerical Banking with Starling. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019
