Amazing

I cannot fault Starling at all. Easy to use, great card protection and even better customer service. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Banking shouldn't be this easy

Since opening my account I have used it as more of a secondary account, using it for putting a bit to one side where I can still access it at any time and during my travels where I get a better rate than at any exchange company or if I took it out of the atm from my normal bank account who would add a percentage per transaction plus a fee but with Starling you know it will cost you zero to access your own money. I've used the ridiculously easy loan facility over the Christmas period just as a back up and love how easy it is to pay it back before payments are due and can completely pay it off and only get charged interest for the time the loan has been active, so easy. And for all of the above it's there in the palm of your hand. Before I said Starling was my secondary account now it's becoming my primary. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent Experience

Great banking experience. The app is fast and full of features, whilst looking really good. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

So quick, so easy

Chose Sterling Bank as I was looking for a bank that didn't charge overseas fees for ATM transactions. I was amazed how easy it was to set up the account and am very impressed with the design of their app. It has converted me to the whole idea of online banking without the need for a high street network.

Best account!

Straightforward, easy to use app. Foreign currency transactions and withdrawals without fees has been great for me. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Secured Banking at the touch of a button!

I was introduced to Sterling Bank by my Son and initially I had mixed feelings because I thought, how can I do my banking on an App without exposing myself to internet scams! I was so wrong. My son convinced me and I se it up on my phone and in no time, I realised how secured it was and a very real time banking. Everything I did appeared immediately on my phone. I went to America last July and I was able to use my Sterling account to get the best rate when withdrawing funds and moving monies around at the touch of a button! Wow! I was also in Africa and again, I was able to use my App having alerted the team I was in Africa and they sent questions to my phone to validate which I responded. The team are great too. They are very quick at responding, detailed and professional always. You get the feeling they are always ahead of the game and looking at ways to protect you from crime. It’s flexible, you can create various savings plan at the touch of a button, convenient and now you can even bank cheques by sending it to a Freepost Sterling without writing anything else and it will be recorded in your account within 5 working days. Well done Sterling Bank and keep up the good work. I’ve already got the whole family using Sterling even my 16 year old is on it too! Bravo and well done. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
