Great online bank perfect for travel

5
I opened the account for our trip to India. It was easy to open online and I had a card within a week. There were a few dodgy transactions while i was overseas but the 24/7 customer chat sorted immediately and was extremely professional and helpful. I loved that they sent you a chat transcript immediately. Fab service! Good interest and no fees for international use or withdrawals from ATMs Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Sterling Starling!

All my banking needs covered in one superb little app! I can’t fault the customer experience, surely Starling sets the benchmark standard in retail banking? I’m one very happy customer who loves his bank! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Best mobile bank

Great bank, great customer service, instant payments whats not to love? The bank for the millennial, easy then traditional banks and I would say more trustworthy. Takes minutes to open an account. Highly recommend them Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Best decision I made last year

It never occurred to me that banking didn’t have to be complicated. I was so wrong. Starling proved me wrong. It is by far the best bank I’ve ever dealt with. Congratulations Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Does why it says in the jar.

Amazing easy bank

5
Actually soo easy to bank with and just does everything a modern bank needs! Always answer questions fast and often reply in couple hours! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Slick, straight forward and instant

5
Switched to starling as it looked intriguing, no issues, good app with slick usage, up to second notifications on spending and payments, New dd set up? Notified. Got paid? Notified. Set up multiple ‘savings pots’ without additional accounts and without showing on your main balance. Plus all the extras you would expect like debit card, overdraft and limited fees. Cannot believe how amazing it is and genuinely cannot see many matching the experience. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
