Simplicity and reliability

After switching using the current account switching service I could not be happier with Starling Bank. The app is fantastic and regular updates mean that brilliant becomes even better. I highly recommend this bank to everyone. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great bank

Great account to use when travelling abroad. App is incredibly easy to use. Only opened the account to use when travelling but have been so impressed I am going to switch to this as my main account. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Says it as it is

Easy to use app. Real time message alerts for transactions etc. Live chat customer service who actually respond to what you say and not just use a standard generic reply that doesnt help! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

My favourite bank account

I was weary about setting up this account because I wasn’t sure who they were or where they were, but they’re everywherere and they’re amazing. Setting up my account took 5 minutes in the app. Once I had my account, every piece of information I needed was in the app, instantly. Forgot your pin? Ask to see it for 5 seconds - after putting in your password of course - got savings goals? Round up your spends with each purchase. It has too many great features to list... simply, amazing. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent app & all you need for banking

My first experience with app-only banking was “Simple” in America. I carefully reviewed the UK market and signed up for Starling bank and I’m so happy with my choice. Reyspeedy processing of sign-up request and the app has all I need for my daily use including the key Apple Pay compatibility and super easy to set up. Highly recommend.

Bringing banking services into the 21st century.

Starling Bank is a great company that strives to make banking services as convenient, and easy to use, for consumers as possible. Something the other banks could do well to learn from. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Exceptional, easy banking

Genuinely the best service I've probably ever used. Everything can be done online, no pestering, and if you get any issues like I did there's no faff, they just sort it out! All that with the fact that there service via their app is excellent, and their product (no foreign fees and large withdrawals) is the best I've seen around :) Great work guys. It's a pleasure to use the product!! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
