Easy banking

No problems easy to deal with & no problems getting in touch to sort transactions. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

I heard a murmur that this new bank was good. It's not, it's fantastic!

The mobile banking app gives me great security as every time there is movement in the account I immediately get notified. Coupled with the best customer service I have experienced from any bank - and I have been with them all over my lifetime - I am confident that Starling Bank will continue to grow and develop. I look forward to being on that journey. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Very simple, very easy and rewarding too

This was, without doubt, the simplest bank account opening experience I've had and whilst banks like First Direct consistently score highly for customer service, I have yet to find a reason why they should beat Starling. Not only that but 0.5% interest is a perk. Enough to buy a coffee if you have enough in the bank. So much for the value of money! Try Starling. You'll like it. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

The silent bank account.

There when you need support or help but sits effectively and efficiently in the background . excellent services to help with managing money for busy people, by providing revolutionary and innovative tools. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Best bank I've ever had

I joined starling back when they weren't cool and everyone was running to check out Monzo because their "waitlist was so cute". I got attracted to Starling because they had a no-thrills current account with all the most important features a high street bank has, just without the messy upselling and buggy software. Ever since then Starling kept improving their product, and over Christmas, I made the switch to have Starling as my main account. All from within the app, with updates, as payees and direct debits were moved over. From the fantastic customer service, the app/service marketplace, the notifications when you spend money, and the no-fee withdrawals on holidays, I couldn't ask for much more. Only "downside" maybe is that the "pulse", a pie-chart of your daily spending, is a bit useless and that they don't offer a competitive credit card product. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Best bank, best customer service

Love using Starling. Easy to use app, super quick response access to live, knowledgeable, customer service agents. I've signed up all family and friends. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Easier than easy

When you feel inclined to talk about a bank to others it’s a sign they’re clearly doing plenty right... Starling takes pain out of everything banking previously represented. Using their app just makes you feel good... hmm, that’s not how things were with my ‘legacy’ provider!! Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Great bank

Had account for over a year and cannot fault it. Great service and proffessional service, thank you Starling Reviewed on: 10th February 2019
