Very happy so far.

Any other banking experience feels like it's from the past. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Love this new way of banking..everything at your fingertips

It's so easy with Starling you can control everything through the app and it offers everything the high street does and more. I love it. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Just fantastic!

Since using this app banking has not been the same! So much functionality and cool in-app features to take advantage of. Would highly recommend to any friend. One improvement would be to add personalised cards but this is not essential and not effecting their score!! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A 5* banking experience

Since switching to Starling in 2018 I’ve had a phenomenal experience. Their customer service is fast and responsive, I’m always given heads up if there are any issues on their end, new features and products are rolled out rapidly. After being a Halifax customer for 20 years and barely seeing any improvements in my banking experience, Starling has been a breath of fresh air. I can’t wait to to be further surprised and delighted by them in 2019. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fast, seamless, easy and intuitive

We needed a joint current account for our social life and holiday funds and didn’t want to pay overseas commission if we went abroad. The Money Expert recommended Starling, and we were able to open individual accounts first and then create a joint account without even leaving the comfort of the sofa! It is an amazing service. We still chuckle each time one of us pays for something and we get the notification on our phones before even leaving the bar/shop/restaurant, we once times it and it took 3 seconds! I am about to transfer my own current account that I have used for many years to my personal Starling account, it’s so good Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

So simple and easy

Setting up the account was so quick and easy and using the account was even simpler. Everything is broken up into separate places and it makes managing funds so much more effective Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Very easy to use.

Very efficient and I like the card and the online app Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Keeps me financially organised!

Starling Bank has really helped me get on top of my finances. It is simple to use and easy to navigate. It encourages saving and I am achieving this for the first time in years. I particularly love the ‘pots’ it provides, enabling you to see at a glance how you’re funds can be separated out to account for the various outgoings. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Everything I want in a bank

Switching from a high street bank to Starling was a no-brainer. The app is so much better and does everything I want with a great UI! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A bank built for the people

As a customer of Starling, I feel valued as a customer - very much unlike my previous experiences with traditional high street bank where I felt like I owed them something for their services! The entire service by Starling has been designed and built around the customer rather than the banking industry - I never knew I could actually enjoy sorting out my finances. I cannot recommend Starling highly enough. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
