Best bank ever

5
I love this bank. So easy to use and the best thing is I am notified after every transaction. Can block my card with one tap if fraud occurs Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Excellent, sleek

5
I've used a few challenger banks (all being better than my experience of classic banks), stealing had been the best experience. Sleeker than Mondo/Monzo and where as I have my mortgage with atom, they don't do current accounts. Starling by far my favourite. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Amazing bank

5
I am delighted with Starting Bank. It is easy to set up the app and very user friendly. I particularly like the real time account balance and instant notification together with notifications of pending direct debits. Customer service is exceptional- no waiting on the phone and always accessible. It is the way forward in banking. I have recommended to friends/family . Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

My current account

5
They are just good would not mind if they did rewards account but still good. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

A role-model for banks

5
A total game-changer. Everything they do, including customer service, is quick, simple, and done properly. The only reasons they're not my sole bank is lack of 1: credit card, and 2: bundled rewards e.g. travel/phone insurance Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Superior service

5
Using my card abroad is now pain free Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Everything I would want from a bank

5
From ease of opening an account to payments and tracking your spending Starling is so simple. Whilst I’m only using the account for basic services everything Starling provides is better than my other bank accounts and has now became my main current account. What was a test to see a mobile only or as some would say NEO bank I’m happy with what Starling provides. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

The best there is

5
Super simple banking experience, very fast and most important no ridiculous fees to use Your money at home and overseas!!!! All banks should be like this! Thank you. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

The best bank account ever!

5
I've been extremely pleased with my account. Very use to use, transfer money. The notification feature is great. You know how much money you spends at any time. Knowing how much you're charged when abroad is another great feature. The best rates when exchanging too. Highly recommended. All my friends and family are switching to Starling!!! Reviewed on: 10th February 2019
