Easy Money

5
App based banking, hassle free. I dont miss my old high street bank for a second. Very easy to use, provides instant notification of spending, warns you when debits are due and allows grouping of expenditure in categories so you can compare month by month lifestyle, eating out, home, bills, etc. Also a current account that pays interest! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Power, control and flexibility

5
Great account that lets you do everything simply. Interest on current account so instead of having separate deposit accounts, you simply set a 'goal' and it seperates those funds. No charge for cash withdrawals abroad, and now an euro account. Excellent!!! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Its all there!

5
Its so nice to see all your transactions and get notifications straight away. And the round up feature helps me save without really noticing. Great bank App. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Best bank ever!

5
Having decided to switch from TSB, the process was very easy and quick. The customer service was fantastic. The mobile app is amazing, by far the best I’ve ever used. The features are many and all work well. Went to the USA over Christmas and the new year, ever time I used my card I got an instant message telling me how much was spent, where it was spent and what the amount was in both dollars and pounds. The exchange rate was better than any I could get on the high street or internet! No fees, and free cash withdrawals in the UK and abroad. The ‘spaces feature ‘ is a revaluation to me. First time I have been able to effectively save money with our Amy hassle or hardships. All in all, best bank I’ve ever been with. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easy to open, free to use, interest too.

5
I opened this account to use on holiday in Europe because there were no fees and a good exchange rate. It even pays me interest, OK it's not high, bit it's better than several others. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easiest and smartest bank

5
This bank has made saving so easy for me, having different goals to work towards and easily keep track of. The constant roll out of new features and improvements (especially the use of Post Offices for deposits) means I always feel that Starling are working to make my customer experience the best it can be. Requesting and spending money is a dream, and no overseas fees has made travelling less stressful. I would recommend Starling to anyone and everyone. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Amazing

Amazing changes the way I bank. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Best bank

Well I used to be with Lloyds bank for a few years but for some reason didn't like being with them. Wasn't allowed a contactless card where as I was given one straight away with Starling. When ever I've had problems I've always been able to speak with some one about it and it be sorted straight away. I'd definitely recommend this bank to anyone Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
