Revolutionary bank

Easily the best bank for coward thinking, customer service and helping customers manage money. The goal option has really helped me keep track of where every penny is being spent. Amazing Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Technology for the Luddite

I am not technologically savvy but registration via the App is child’s play and extremely quick and easy Their technical support is superb and everything works flawlessly My first foray into the world of online banking could not have been more straightforward to register and subsequently use 10 out of 10 in all respects and I have highly recommended Starling to all my family, friends and work colleagues Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A new kind of current account

My experience with Starling has been fantastic since I joined 9 months ago. Setup is about as seamless as it could be and was easy to fit in around my busy work schedule as I could do it all at home over the app. The app itself feels slick and I can find all of the information that I need very quickly. The spend tracking is as good as anything else I've seen on apps and has helped me understand where my money goes. I've been able to clearly contribute to my savings targets using the 'Goals' space and I've also set up a joint account with my girlfriend (who's also a user now). On the rare occasion that I've had any issues (forgotten password, queried transaction) the customer service reps over text chat responded quickly, were capable and seemed genuinely keen to help. Finally, on top of all of this they offer a 0.5% interest rate on balances in the account. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Absolutely amazing bank

Couldn’t fault anything such a brilliant bank Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A banking sensation

I've had accounts with several banks but none have compared to Starling Bank. Instant transfers to other accounts allows me to pay friends and family with no hassle. Direct debits and standing orders, allowing my bills to get paid with ease. Being a mobile only bank account, the app which Starling provides to manage your account is sensational. Such ease of use with a fantastically designed user interface with many features. To open an account I simply provided my details along with a photo of my driver's licence and a selfie video of me asking for a Starling account, all within the app. Easy! Their "Spaces" feature, which allows you to create a Space to transfer monies into, has allowed me to put cash away to save for upcoming events such as going on holiday. It even allows you to label this Space (e.g. Barcelona), set a background photo (e.g. Barcelona skyline) and set a target value to save. It keeps these monies separate from your main balance, easily transferred into and out of, instantly. An incredible feature. In the statement section of the app, each transaction is labelled simply (e.g. Sainsbury's, or Tesco) and are coupled with icons which can be, for example, the logo of the merchant, makes for a visibly pleasing statement. The app gives you the ability to view by transaction or even by merchant, allowing you to calculate exactly how much you spent with a merchant over a period of time (e.g. just how much did I spend at Tesco this month?). Being a branchless bank, Starling have given the ability to deposit funds via Post Office. There is a Post Office closer to where I live than there is a bank branch. I'm sure the same can be said for many folk in the UK, even on the smaller remote islands! I will be a Starling customer for as long as Starling or I exist, and here's hoping longevity to both.
