Simple but professional

5
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!

Brilliant bank, great customer service

5
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

Why cant all banks be like them.

5
Easy to set up. Easy access. Great app which is easy to use. I'm a technophobe and can use it. Nice little touches like logo of company that you shopped at so you remember the transaction easily. Just all round great bank. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great service easy to use

5
If you ever need help there is more than enough ways to get help app based chat, email an Phone. Friendly service. Only downside for me is that I'm not able to buy shares in it at this moment I love the way they work and the service they give o would like to buy into then in any small way possible.

Does what it says on the tin.

5
Has helped me get my finances together! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Quick and easy

5
No hassle very quick and easy, easy to understand Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Simple, clear and appropriate

5
A simple current account set up without any real fuss or effort. Clear and basic terms, fees and approach. This is so vitally needed in the banking world. Most banks have either too much small print or bombard you to take out other products to make THEM money. Its great to finally see a bank which allows the consumer breathing space. The app is immediate in its notifications of any change to your account. I think other banks should stop and have a look at what's going on here. Times have very much changed. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Much prefer the app to Natwest

5
I have recently moved from NatWest to Starling due to the fact the app provides features that I need such as notifications and the ability to categorise all my payments. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
