It's a bank, but one that makes you feel like part of a family :o) Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Banking thats changed how money works

5
Since switching to Starling Bank using the CASS (Current Account Switching Service), my relationship with money has changed massively! With real time spending alerts, budgeting tools, free overseas spending and snazzy market place integrations (like Flux) I’ve had more control and insight than ever before!

Everything you never knew you needed in a bank

5
I was sceptical of an app only bank at first but I opened an account 9 months ago & gave it a go. I was so impressed with the app, all the different features & how easy it is to contact someone when needed that I've now taken the plunge & switched my current account to them. I'm very happy so far. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Excellent service & great value for money

5
Great app, well designed, responsive and comprehensive. Excellent rates when using outside UK. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

So simple.

5
The best bit for me is always knowing how much money I have left with instant notifications. No longer do I wait two days for my bank to update the transaction. Amazing! Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Incredible bank

5
Very easy Bank to use. They give a lot a feature not currently provided by the main high street banks. They also have a very friendly customer service. I am very happy to be their customer. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

5 star banking

Starling Bank has created something special; banking as it should be. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Best current account

5
I recently travelled abroad and used my current account/debit card to make purchases. There were no fees (like other high street banks or credit card providers) and when paying in the local currency, Starling uses the MasterCard exchange rate. I love the notifications when a direct debit is due or when money is received into the account. Honestly can’t fault it. I’ve already recommended Starling to my friends!
