I have been with starling for a month The application process was very easy and the technology is great. I’ve tested all areas of the platform They are certainly the future of banking Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Who knew 'banks' could be this good.

Everything has been absolutely seamless. The breakdown of your spending activity is a great feature to inform budgeting. The app is crisp, extremely responsive and incredibly user friendly. Adding payees is easy. When my card was cloned in Guatemala and had money stolen Starling sorted it out and refunded my money within 2 days. No foreign transaction fees. Fantastic customer service. Starling are transparent and offer regular updates that are accessible and not preachy (natwest). Best of all, no f***ing ads with horses, songs, old people, babies etc trying to pretend they're 'by your side' F*** off lloyds. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent.

The best bank I've been with

And I regularly switch current accounts, and have tried at least 7 different UK banks. This is the only bank making app based banking as easy and useful as it should be. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
