Perfect bank

5
Absolutely amazing bank - switched over a couple of years ago for going on holiday as a "top up" account. So impressed that I shortly switched over to it as my everyday bank (and now also have a joint account). Very simple to do all tasks through the app - and the pace of innovation for new services or tweaks with Starling is very impressive! 10/10 Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A New way to Bank

I absolutely love everything abiout this innovative bank, particularly the way everything seems to have been well thought out and in the customer’s interest - no put intended! Starling make banking fun. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Everything is straight forward and works seamlessly. Highly recommend the service they provide. Brilliant Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

This is the future

5
The whole set up of Starling is user friendly, easy to navigate and most importantly it is quick. Why should transfers take so long and why should you need pin sentry devices in today’s world? Personally, I believe the best features are the round up feature where an amount from each transaction you make is added onto the final transaction amount and moved into the ‘goals’ section. Of course, you cannot beat a few free card for foreign transactions or withdrawals. Amazing bank and I would highly recommend them. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Simple, easy, modern

5
The way a bank should be, easy to set up, all your data at your fingertips, send money with a few taps, contact them with a simple chat session. What aren’t all banks this slick?? Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Starling are elevating their game!

5
I'm really happy with Starling, so happy, in fact, that I have now switched all my accounts to them. Their service is too class and the features they constantly roll out are really beneficial to their customers. Im finding myself wondering "what's next?" - I can't wait!

Forward thinking

5
From opening an account to switching existing accounts to starling, every process is hassle free. This is a truly innovative bank with its feet firmly in the future. Every other bank out there should take a leaf out of Starling's book. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easy to use, value for money fx transactions

5
