Money made simple

Joined online and set up was slick and easy. Love the look and feel of the website, and the delivery of the card and subsequent replacement was excellent. No hard sell tactics but plenty of information to get you interested in taking control of your finances. Brillent marketing which will help the younger generation understand their finances and plan for the future without the stuffiness of old bank practices. Love it. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

A bank that is easy to use and helps with saving, general money management and travel. I’ve never experienced such a pleasurable banking experience with traditional banking. Superb!! Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Fantastic

Since opening my account and using on a day to day basis I have found it absolutely brilliant. From the instant notifications and seeing my balance adjusted accordingly instantly, to using my card when I am abroad. Not having to worry about If I’m getting the best exchange rate or thinking about where I’m going to go to get the currency I need. Being able to pop to the post office to deposit any cash I may have is so handy, especially with so many of the big high street branches closing. When I’ve had to contact customer services it’s been a pleasure to do so. I recommend Starling Bank at every opportunity! Keep up the fantastic work team! Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Brilliant

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

Best bank account Ive ever used

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
