Instant banking with excellent service

Convenient easy to use banking, which instantly reflects your transactions and balance. You can lock you card instantly from the app if it’s stolen, and my recent experience of customer service relating to the stolen card was outstanding. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Such an easy set

Such an easy setup process. Transferring money into the account was very easy . Seeing where you're money is and how it is spent is so easy via the app. Overall an up and coming bank with innovative ideas. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

38 years of bank accounts this is the best.

Everything is so easy to use with this account. I've always been poor at managing my money, overdrawn almost every month. Not any more with Startling, so much more control than any other account I've had at various banks over about 38 years. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

First class

Faultless from the start. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Simple Banking

Opening an account with these guys has been one of the best moves I have made. It’s really simple to use and everything you want to see is there on your phone. No need to login to a website, visit a branch or make a call, it’s all there. I don’t miss my high street bank at all, they seem to be missing me though! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Customer Centred

Quick and simple to set up. Instant messages on transactions to see what you have spent. Great app to manage your account. Best account I had in my 57 years of banking Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

It just works

Easy and simple banking, great customer service and always willing to help Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Awesome for travelling and saving money

I love how you can see your spending so easily, how using the card abroad is so easy too. I like setting different goals within the “spaces” to save up for things, I really like the “rounding up” feature to help save too. I have reccomended to numerous people already as it’s so easy to set up an account up too! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A bank for the future

I was switched over from Lloyds to Starling after banking with Lloyds for over 20yrs and have had many chances to switch but never got round to it. It was done for me automatically no problems. I was reluctant to switch but I must say the service has surpassed my expectations. It’s all in one app. You can deposit at any post office which is so handy and closer than going to the branch itself and cheque deposits are free to send in. I have used a few banks prev in my lifetime which were no were near as good as this as this one. They also send alerts for debits going out and credits coming in prior giving you time to think esp if something is coming out and you don’t have enough money in your ac which is ab life saving. It’s all done for you and then you can make the alternative arrangements, esp this day and age where you have little time this is an ab essential. Starling is def a bank of the future and an intelligent one. Keep up the good work. Whoever came up with this idea deserves an Oscar. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

The future

Brilliant app and really easy to use. Great for using abroad, no charges. Where Starling lead the big banks follow. Improving all the time. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
