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

Perfect simple easy banking

Since switching to sterling I have been able to manage my money better. Viewing where I spend my money and the category has allowed me to better manage my monthly finances. The app Is user friendly, intuitive and simple and having the transaction show straight away is just what is needed unlike other banks which can take weeks to show the transaction.

Easiest banking Ive had in a long time

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
