Amazing new bank account - Starling Bank

5
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

Brilliant, easy banking

5
Simple, straightforward, efficient Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great loan options with low APR and hasstle free banking

5
I haven't really got much to talk about, it works well, the app is polished with loads of features, but the greatest is the ability to loan from your overdraft. It's helped me get things that I want to save for earlier and pay back very little interest. It's very approachable and easy and doesn't feel like a scary loan like others do. It just feels very hassle free and they manage the payments back unlike a credit card. If you want you can pay it back however you want and your interest will scale accordingly. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Changed my whole approach to finances

5
Starling revolutionised the way I handle money. Before, I had no interest about the granularities of my spending, which means some of it was frivolous. With Starling, I am able to better save my money which has allowed me to do some great things like travel and buying gifts for those that I love. The immediacy of Starling’s services mean that banking, for me, is no longer a chore, but instead, it is now a manageable factor in my day to day life. I can not recommend Starling enough and I want to thank the bank for all it has done for me. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Brilliant bank with so many great features

5
Starling is the most forward thinking bank available. Setup was fast and easy, they release great new features almost every month. Some of the best include savings goals, zero fees on abroad payments and instant notifications. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
