Fantastic bank

Been with Starling under a year but it’s a fantastic bank to be with. They update your bank instantly with any transactions, you get notifications, you can easily round up purchases and put the ‘spare change’ into savings; customer service is brilliant too, they’re always there when you need them. I love the modern look and feel of Starling and it’s certainly a disruptor in the world of banking. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Would never go on holiday without one!

Had never heard of starling until Martin Lewis referred to it on his website. We (family) all applied after reading the reviews for a card. Accepted exceptionally quickly, card arrived not long after. It was in the start a pain to load with cash but this has now been sorted. We used with no issues on our month long adventure and now using everyday back in the UK. I have recommended to friends and family who have all applied and are now using it as a current account. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Simply Great

Starling Bank is great, easy to set up and maintain. They have a great attention to details and make it very easy to analyze your own spending. I love the "spaces" implementations and I can't wait for them to open the EUR accounts too! I think I might switch to them completely as soon as they do. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Amazing new bank account - Starling Bank

I would never have imagined using a bank's services could be so painless, straight-forward and friendly! After decades of using frustrating mainstream banking, it's so freeing to discover there is a different way. I have had no issues opening and using my Starling account, even overseas.

Banking made easy

Starling bank is easy to use and very convenient. It keeps you up to date with all your transactions which means you don't have to keep logging into your account all the time. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easyyyyy

The app and user experience is the best I've seen. Instantly updated transactions make it easier to budget and sending and saving money is a simple process. With the addition of Freeport cheque cashing, this really is the bank of the future. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
