Amazing Bank and Facilities

Banking has truly been revolutionised. Starling is the Transferwise of the Banking industry, Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

I cannot stop raving about this bank

Initially I got the starling account as you don’t not get charged for transactions abroad (no fees in Canada or the USA etc) to use your card or ATM. But since then I’ve now switched all my banking to it. It’s such a simple, easy, well designed account. My pay check shows up in grey the night before I get paid so I know it will be available the next day - no more waiting up till midnight to make sure your pay check has gone in!! it’s awesome, I love it, and I never thought I would say that about a bank account. hehe.

Quick, reliable current account abroad

Quick, reliable current account abroad - any issues are reasolved quickly on the chat feature. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

How banking would be designed if you started with a blank sheet of paper

Starling have started with the customer, the modern customer, and have demonstrated that it is possible to design banking that suits the changing way in which people now live their lives. Bureaucracy has no hiding place here. Opening an account is quick and easy, internet banking is fast and intuitive and the customer service provision is probably the best i've experienced anywhere (not just in banking). This bank has been designed by very clever people who have viewed what banking looks like through the lens of a customer and makes the practices of other banks look archaic!

Efficient, Easy, Smart Thinking

All that you need within a bank, starling has. Great customer service, great benefits abroad, smart thinking when it comes to saving, great communication with customers. I couldn’t ask for more. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Definitely best UK bank hands down

Starling bank are awesome! Best UK bank without a doubt Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Simple but professional

A great experience using Starling. My favourite things are the ease of being able to lock your card if you misplace it and ‘spaces’ feature which allows you to divvy up your savings theoretically and allows you to name the separate ‘pots’ ie, daughters birthday, Christmas etc. Love it! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Brilliant bank, great customer service

Amazing bank, love the app. Sends me texts all around the world when I spent money so I can keep track of everything. Problem in Africa, no worries, talk to the helpful operative via wifi and everything sorted. Lost in New York, problem with money sorted by Starling. Not sure how much you've spent in Thailand, text tells you in pounds including exchange rate! Brill!! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great bank

I have had this bank account since it was born. I've never had a problem with it. It always worked great within and outside the UK! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easy quick user friendly

Everything I have done with starling has been quick and easy. Even during our travels in Australia. I couldn’t have asked for more Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
