Everything a bank should be

5
By far the most progressive and forward thinking bank I have ever used. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Helpful and easy to use

5
I've been with Starling for over a year now and I don't regret the move. It has been the best bank to take travelling across Asia and such helpful staff on the 24/7 chat who have got me out of a few sticky situations, especially when I keep forgetting my passwords! The app is also great, I love how easy it is to use, transfer money and the card lock function is a life saver! Although I have to say for me it's the coustumer service which makes it. I have had so many problems with other banks, that's if you even manage to speak to a person, but at Starling they have been outstanding every time! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

I think the starling banking app is absolutely brilliant. Any payments or transactions are notified immediately on my phone, not like old banks telling days to tell you about activity on account. I can use abroad for no fees its amazing Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
