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

Great Banking experience

5
Banking with ease and full information at a glance Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easy to use, reliable and effective

5
Many other banks offer free FEX withdrawals for free and then ultimately end the service and apply charges - not with Starling. They are focussed on the customer's need and ease of experience which is exemplified through the user friendly app and excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easiest bank I have ever dealt with

5
Couldn't be easier. The app works instantly informing of any monies spent. One day warning of any direct debits to be taken. Such an easy way of saving too. Just can't fault this bank. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Amazing UX

Starling has made monitoring my finances hassle free for the past 12 months, from giving me the best conversion rates abroad, to ensuring an excellent user experience whilst using the app. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Breath of fresh air !

From initially researching Starling Bank, to setting up my account, communication, efficiency and on going developments, I have found it difficult to fault them. So, now I intend to open a Business Banking Account with them too. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Best bank hands down

5
Quick, professional, friendly customer service. Has an app that's easy to use and understand. Inclusion of post office deposits is the icing on the cake. Absolutely wonderful banking service. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Amazing and easy to set up

5
The app is layed out amazingly. It is easy to use and really easy to set up! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Spot on

5
Completely mobile and no unnecessary high street banks. Money is in real time, unlike other major banks, and having multiple saving spaces is a credit to them. I can round up to certain accounts and spending summary is excellent. These and Monzo are the future. Watch out high street banks, the end is nigh... Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Just love it

5
Starting bank presented an account that was exactly what I was looking for. As well as all the technical benefits; it has a really nice layout and it’s easy to use. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
