Signed up to a current account and can only praise the speed & efficiency of their service. For an older user I found the App very simple to use and access unlike my other bank account when getting into the app was problamatical and time consuming. 10/10 from me! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Very convenient

Found Starling bank so easy to set up, my local RBS was one of the many closures and I was never a fan of their online service. Starling was recommended and I’m so glad I set it up. The online interface is clean and very easy to use and the mobile App notifies me within seconds when money has entered or left my account. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Perfect

I’ve loved having a Starling account since day 1, I recommended it to my husband who also has an account and we have a joint account. It makes keeping on top of your money so easy and the traditional banks are struggling to keep up with the ease of use. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A so simple app to manage your account.
