They are amazing everywhere. CC, competitive rates, and they’re always adding new features to the app! They’ve helped me with money management and save for my first home! Which I just got with my partner and have opened a joint account with Starling Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Very easy banking

I like the fact i can check on when and who I've payed / received monies off. Receiving alerts to remind me off payments due. Would like to be given a over draft as I have one with The Natwest. £450. I want to pay this off and then close Natwest account but I find overdraft handy to have in emergencies. Apart from m that keep up the good work. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Services I didn't know I needed delivered simply

I probably spent more time getting the application vidéo looking right than I actually did on the application. In minutes I've got an account and am playing with the intuitive app which has genuinely helped me be more aware of my spending. That I don't shy away from opening because it could be bad news, and consequently am far better at managing my money and feeling a lot better about it. Am currently making use of the marketplace to bring in other services to consolidate my bills to further help manage my finances. Happy days. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fantastic challenger bank

5
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
