Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Love this bank

After 30 years with Halifax I decided to switch it was really easy! Starling Bank is friendly, has a great app, is engaging and helpful. What more could I possibly want? Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Instant Banking

Starling Bank is the Bank of the future , instant banking that keeps you up to date with all your transactions immediately. It's so good all our Family have an account with Starling. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

It so easy and everything is in real time

Opening my account and using it was so easy to do. I love how quickly I can see transactions and the notifications when payments have been made. I was so impressed that I closed my old account using the starling transfer less than a week after opening an account to to try it out. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

amazing technology and services, perfect rates and interest Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easy to use app, the best bank account I have ever had

Having the multiple money pots helps me to budget my money easier and the ease of transferring money is a dream Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A bank that makes looking after your money so easy

I love that I can chat instantly with someone, and however obscure my question is, I get an answer really quickly. Getting interest on my money is a great bonus and the ease and speed of international transactions and the value for money is exceptional. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

The best bank in my phone keeps getting better

My account was set up immediately. It’s controled by a well thought out App. I never have to drive miles to find one or queue up in a bank. Transfers are instant, payments are instant and although I receive my receipts online I can pay in cash and cheques if I want to. There is a great support team who deal with issues immediately. I said after marrying my 2nd wife I would never fall in love again but I love Starling. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Better than the others

I have had an overwhelmingly positive experience with starling. Its simple, customer service is good, and it's already saved me over 100 pounds by having the very best exchange rates while I'm travelling. And there's no fee. Simply amazing. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great on line bank, constantly updating and easy to manage

I opened my account after issues with TSB. This is a FAR better bank Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A New Concept in Banking

I came across Starling Bank by chance on MSE, am I glad I did. I love the way I receive a text literally within seconds, even before the cash has come out of the cash machine or the cashier has handed over my receipt so I know that if the worst was to happen and someone was to steal my card and try to use it I would be notified instantly. I used the card in Australia & Hong Kong recently, market leading exchange rates and best of all no charges at all for overseas use, what a welcome change from normal high street bank accounts who normally charge £3-£5 for every £100 spent. The bank has the mentality of not wanting to stand still and wants to find new ways of banking that smash all the traditional ideas to bits, I have no hesitation in recommending this bank to other people, friends or strangers, and think you deserve not only the nomination but the top prize.
