With the brilliant Starling app you have everything under one roof, so easy to setup an account and so quick to update with your latest transactions. The current account switch service was also seamless Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A bank for the modern day

5
Ever since using Starling now, normal high-street banks seem like a pure scam. Fees for everything, and incredibly slow service, particularly when it comes to card issues. I love Starling because it has made life easier, other banks are going to have to catch up with their ease of use or they won't last long. The young people of today will be the bank customers of the future, and we all prefer banking that just works, like Starling. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Clean, simple, elegant and future proof

5
At first I hesitated to join but after some research I realised this was the right bank for me. Everything is so easy and smooth. We have just set up a joint account and it took less than 1 minute which was just amazing. We live in a village and going to a high street bank to pay in or talk to anyone, requires a 30 minute car journey and a stressful experience. With Starling I don't need to worry about that anymore and I can pop to the post office instead. It's a very strange experience to be happy with a bank but I honestly can say, Starling is the bank that's been missing and is the way forward for banking. Just so easy and simple Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent
