The most streamlined service I have encountered.

Starling Bank make almost any action quick and easy without sacrificing security. I remember the pain of trying to navigate online banking with NatWest and HSBC. I am a forgetful person, so I lose my passwords on an embarrassing regular basis; Starling allowed me to resolve this issue without a trip to the local branch, and it took under a minute of my time. I can’t help but compare this to a similar situation with HSBC where it took a good while on the phone to even work out which piece of information I had misremember, due to a confusing error message. I am also impressed by the number of payment systems that they support; in fact, originally came to use Starling because they were the most well known UK bank to support FitBit Pay, which almost no UK banks support and has made small transactions a breeze for me. I really have no major complaints about Starling, which is far more than I can say about any other bank I have worked with. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Nexgen, customer oriented, how to bank bank!

From moving to the current account, to creating joint account, managing money etc are all geared towards how I work & play. Customer support either does things that mean I can query and know that I will either be doing it myself or get a reply within a good time. All the features seem to be geared towards the customer. Love it. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Online banks are almost indefinitely the better option when compared with a traditional high street bank. The capabilities are far greater and it makes for a much better customer experience. Starling Bank, are leading the way in terms of online banks right now. I cannot fault my experience with this bank. It's the first bank, I actually enjoy being with and I'm happy to share that with people! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
