The best bank I have used

5
Starling bank is incredible. Their application process is super easy and can be done any time anywhere with their app. My account was opened quickly and ready to use not long after my application. The app is extremely well designed, its packed full of features but it has a simple, easy to use interface which gives you the information you need at a glance and then is really easy to use for banking transactions and more. I have only needed to contact starling customer service once but it was a fantastic experience. It was easy to get through and they were professional and friendly and helped my with my query quickly and it was sorted first time. I recommend this bank highly and to everyone!

There are 0 cons to this bank

5
The quality of the app is what sold me to make the switch. However they just keep bringing out more and more features and reasons why to make that switch. Including recently a free post cheque deposit service! I had a couple time where I’ve decided to contact customer services and they are the best customer service team which I’ve contacted, fast replies, resolves the question almost instantly. I could t recommend starling enough 10/10 Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
