A refreshing break from the norm

5
In a world of distrust and negative opinion of the banking sector Starling Bank is a refreshing change. This app based bank offers a far quicker and feature rich experience. No fiddly card readers, far greater control and access to ALL statement data, fantastic notification settings, savings pots and second to none in-app support, to name but a few. I notice that all the other high street banks are scrabbling around to add the same features that Starling has been championing all along. That says it all. Out with the old and in with the new. I definitely will not be going back! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

What reason anyone has anyone got to stay with big unethical banks? Starling is hands down the best of the best when it comes to products and service. Continuous improvements to an already stellar company keep these guys floating on top. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Quick, Easy, Reliable

I joined in July 2018 and I've since switched my husband, set up our joint account in minutes and opened my business account with them too! I recommend them to everyone because they're fantastic. Real time notifications, even for contactless, really helpful customer service when you need it and the app is clear, stream-lined and really easy to use! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great app for banking, no hassle very easy. With Sterling you in full control. They have 24/7 customer support by chat and call which is very useful. I wish all the best for Sterling Bank company. Good luck Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Amazing service

5
I originally opened a Starling current account for a 3 week trip across Canada and the US due to incurring no fee's charge for foreign transactions, but I am now migrating by everyday banking to them too. The app is so user friendly and customer service response is brilliant. No more waiting to get through to a customer service via telephone and speaking to someone who has no idea how to help you. I've only had a couple of issues that I've had to contact them with, both my fault and both dealt with swiftly and professionaly. I frequently recommend Starling to friends and family.
