Innovative and visionary

Because of a bad experience with m26 the german app i decided to look for a bank with good reviews on google and outstanding was Sterling bank. I decided first to see if the card would work first time in a machine and easy to se and not as complicated as the m26 german bank app and sterling bank came through so i closed off my account with m26 as they failed at the first attempt. That was my story why i came to sterling. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Simple, Effective - perfect

For a young adult living in the UK, I like to manage my money in a way that allows me to have a bit of spending money for general food, nights out etc. This does exactly that in a reliable app that is simple to use. I have used for both of my holidays abroad and have got my friend and girlfriend to open an account who also find the experience useful for someone of our age group. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Quick, reliable and secure

Never thought I’d use an online bank, to paranoid! However, I love that you can ‘lock down’ your card and internet transactions etc. You chat to someone when you need reassurance and your overdraft limit is in your hands . Inspirational banking. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

So very easy to set up a current account. Get informed when money goes in and when it's going out. So glad a friend told me about starling bank. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Exceptional account opening and ongoing service.

Account opening was automated no visits to branches all done within minutes. Other banks take weeks. Every transaction made on the account triggers a text and when abroad the text advises of sterling equivalent. No fees for overseas transactions. Magic!! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
