Easiest banking Ive had in a long time

5
Starling bank is extremely easy to use. Despite most of us being fluent with smart ogjes, starling have made a banking app that could genuinely be used by anyone. The graphics for showing my incoming and outgoing soenditures is very clear, showing breakdowns for how much I’ve spent in shopping, groceries and eating out. For example. Being so easy to use, I have also now changed my business account over to starling. I have absolutely no regrets. The card ordering process is a breeze. Completed through the app, the bank account is set up within minutes and a new card arrives in a matter of days. These come in a very stylish yet professional white card packet with the starling logo embossed on the front. Inside is a beautiful metallic turquoise card which looks stunning. Card control is very easy through the app. I can block gambling payments, lock my card, get a pin reminder and even more in a matter of seconds. Customer services are very easy to use. I used them for my business account and had the matter resolved in under 24 hours. Couldn’t recommend enough!! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

So easy

Everything is so easy with Starling and it’s only getting better Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

User friendly, modern & creative

5
I absolutely love my Starling accounts & now have 3 - current, joint and business. They are fun, fresh, (which I never thought I’d say about a bank account) let me budget, save, pay and manage my finances on the go. I was initially a bit apprehensive about a bank with no branches but I never really use the branch much anyway. My other old style bank account’s days are numbered. When I get my debits transferred I’ll be closing it down. Starling are fair, efficient and creative. Just right for the modern world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Making money accessible and easy

5
It’s a joy to do my banking with Starling. I tested it out, switched my current account, then encouraged my girlfriend to set up a joint account with me to do all our joint day-to-day spending. They are making small improvements frequently and respond to feedback. I wish we could have two joint accounts. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Best account ever

5
Been with Starling over 6 months. Such a good bank. Used my card in America with no crazy fees and most importantly no hassle. Fee free overdraft is also great. With local Post offices open until 10pm most days paying in cash is easy and now Freepost for cheques has just made it better. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
