Great online bank

Very easy to set up an account, always keep updated about any usage when a transaction is made Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fantastic challenger bank

From the start my experience has been brilliant with Starling. The app is excellent and very easy to use. I love the breakdown of all my spending. It’s also great I can temporarily lock my card if I have mislaid it rather than just cancel it. I particularly love not being ripped off with extra fees and inflated exchange rates when I travel abroad as this has been my experience with the more traditional high street banks. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Brilliant

Really easy to set up a new account. Customer service is fantastic, with live chat responses very fast and helpful. Super nice user interface Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

The future of personal banking has arrived

At first I was a bit dubious about trying another App. based bank having previously been disappointed with the stability of another provider's App. I was wrong. I tried Starling for a personal account & was impressed at how seamlessly it worked. After a short trial period my wife also opened a personal account, swiftly followed by a joint account. Having used Starling in various countries we can confirm that the App. & push notifications are almost instantaneous. The rounding up & Spaces facilities are useful, as are the budgeting & spending breakdown reports. We are unable to comment on customer support as nothing has gone wrong & we have not needed to contact support. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Simple

Easy to set up, instant advise of transaction, free withdrawals abroad Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great Bank

Fantastic online bank committed 100% to the customer. Despite not having traditional high street banks, Starling have made it their priority to make transfering cash and cheques as easy as possible by teaming up with the post office. On top of this, the Starling app is fantastic and always feels safe and secure to use. I would definitely recommend Starling to a friend. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Finally banking at its best

Always striving to improve and amazing communication a truly customer focused bank! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

How banking should be!

I cannot rate starling bank highly enough. The slick set up process, the useful app and regular updates makes it the most user friendly bank in the industry. Starling behave and act like a bank should do and I firmly believe they are paving the way in modern banking. With most banks you feel like you get nothing for your loyalty, that is not the case with starling, who seem to work tirelessly to offer the best service and products for their customers. Cannot rate them highly enough! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent for organising money

They have live notifications so you see exactly where and when your money is going. The direct debit reminders mean I’ve never missed a payment. The goals section is perfect for organising my money, I’ve saved money into as many separate sections as I need to organise what to pay for Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
