Brilliant

5
So quick and easy to set up and use. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Best bank account Ive ever used

5
Starling bank is so good. I hear so many people talk about how they have very little understanding of their finances or how they never notice when a transaction goes out, or how they have to spend serveral hours talking to customer service assistants to freeze and replace their card. They just need to switch to starling. Problem solved. In a field of increasingly good smart banks (I’ve got accounts with pretty much all of them) Starling still feels like the slickest, most polished product to me. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Game changer for banking

It makes so much sense when you start using starling and makes you wonder why banking hasn’t been like that sooner. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Fantastic banking service

I recently set up a starling account at the recommendation of 2 friends. So quick and easy to set up in comparison with our high street banks. I've already recommended to several family and friends. Love the little extra services that come with the account like the little savings pots Love it! Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Fantastic.

Originally came across Starling Bank when looking for the best debit/credit cards to use on holiday without incurring bank charges. Recommended by Martin Lewis of moneysavingexpert I found Starling Bank very easy to set up and was absolutely ideal for my travels. You can lock and unlock your card using your phone app giving you control and peace of mind. Any notificatiins of transactions or withdrawals on your account are instantaneous via the app so you are always aware of what is going on with your finances and I really like that you can allocate funds to specific goals that you might be saving for, all within the one account. I recommended Starling Bank to some other people I was going travelling with and they too have said how fantastic it is. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019
