I switched a lot between banks as I just didn't feel I was getting the best service....now I'll never switch again Starling bank does everything I need and they just keep making it better! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great bank easy to use.

I like the fact I get a notification every time my card is used. I also love spaces, a separate place within my account were I can move money into a space that keeps it separate from my living money. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

So pleased we took this card. Its fantastic for our trips away and makes everything so much more clearer and simple with no hidden fees or charges. Its so widely accepted and couldn’t be without it now. Have recommended to friends. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

I am 35 and this is the best bank I have ever used. The transfers and payments are instant. The customer service is out of this world seriously they are quick and always helpful. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great IT keeps me informed

Really good experience. Almost the moment we spend anything from our Starling account, we get a text message confirming the spend and our new balance. A refreshing change to most of the technology used by traditional banks. A big bonus for us is the ability to take money out abroad without charge. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fast, efficient, seamless. What's not to like?

Changed from First Direct who were messing me about with overdraft charges. Starling set up everything super quick and all through the app, 5 minutes flat. Can do everything I want to nearly instantly and see everything happening even on our joint account, as it happens. Just what a bank should be. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Best Bank ever

Switching to Starling seemed a little daunting at first. However, the process was fast and simple. Using a mobile only bank is so much easier than more traditional ones. Starling is ever improving and leads the way in modern banking. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
