Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Switch and save

5
Really easy sign-up and switch process. The app is brilliant at showing me where all my money is really going and lets my 'roll up' transactions to go into different pots, meaning I'm saving a lot more money. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Awesome

5
A very modern and seamless experience. Can't recommend them enough, so easy to use and super reliable! Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Best way to bank

5
Best way to bank if you do not like the way high street banking works: the appointments, the limited opening hours, having have to physically go to a bank for whatever reason, the lists go on. I can do everything on my phone, and if I need to pay in a cheque, all I need is a stamp and envelope. Couldn't be made more simple and convenient. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Great banking experience!

5
I've never had an issue with this bank. The app is a very easy way to have your finances up to date, and the customer service has been effortless and efficient. I'm glad I found this bank. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Best bank account I've ever had

5
Love the app, payments are registered immediately, easy to set up overdrafts, and to pay people...no foreign cash fees...just a great bank account Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

A friendly no nonsense functional bank

5
I opened the account in 5 minutes with no hassle, got my card in a week & I love the app. It has all the funtionality I need. And I love the warm and friendly 'appdates' I get. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Best Bank Ever

5
Starling really is the best bank I’ve ever banked with, it really is a 21st Century bank, the app is amazing, from being able to save by moving money into “goals” without the need for multiple accounts and round-ups, to real time available balance without pending payments showing that you could forget about. You can see all your spending habits via merchants or categories, not to mention their AMAZING customer service, 24/7 365 access to real people...in the UK! I have recommended them so many times. I would never use a regular British bank ever again....Startling bank is the future of banking, Starling is now. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019
