Great Bank

Joined 6 months ago and love the instant features and I even got my partner to join. We have ditched the old broken way of banking and joined the new way of banking with Starling! Love the bank and the app... looking forward to cheque scanning to become live and also credit cards Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Customer centric bank

5
Best bank out there. From opening the account that took minutes to ordering a new card. So quick and simple the way banking should be with the customer in control. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Painless instant banking

5
Easy to switch banks, earn interest rather than pay monthly fee, comprehensive and user-friendly app with instant alerts on all transactions. Also additional features to allow for savings and other personal goals. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Simple and brilliant

5
Being able to see all expenses and spending in one place saves so much time and allows energy to be diverted away from finances and back into enjoying myself. I know it is secure and am excited to see the new features in 2020. The Marketplace introduces other useful finance providers. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Absolutely fabulous!!

5
Easy to set up - easy too use - innovative, current, modern! Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Simple brilliance.

5
It is the best app. Others have more options but the simplicity is its main assets. It's like the Apple of the mobile banking sector, getting things that simple is complex and they do it brilliantly. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Avoid if you are etnic minority

1
Please avoid this bank if you are from an ethnic minority. They will racially profile you after letting you save significant sums and try very hard to hold onto your hard earned money . You have been warned ! Stay away ! Reviewed on: 3rd July 2019
