Amazing and Innovative

5
An amazing company with an innovative app which is so easy and fun to use! The addition of goals and spaces really set them apart and you can divide and manipulate your money however you please! I initially opened an account due to the exchange rate and no charges abroad and I fell in love! So clear to use and great customer service! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

I tell everyone about it

5
Intuitive app, convenient and enjoyable to use. I wouldn’t go back to a high street bank. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

excellent control and real time info on spending

5
An excellent service. The app means I can keep a close eye on what I am spending and when abroad I often know my card was approved before the vendor. Its reassuring to know exactly when the card is used and easy to pause card usage if concerned. Much better than other banks I have used in lots of ways. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Just fabulous!

5
A fresh faced online bank that gives all the benefits of a high street branch but is all online, accessible 24/7 and modern in its approach to customers. A much needed and addition and alternative to the usual high street brands. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Amazing Digital Bank, Forever Improving

5
Starling has excellent services/features and is forever improving. Their deals and products are more transparent than any other bank and easier to use. I love the security features, nearby payments which seems much safer not having to exchange details or risk miskeying them. I love the instant alerts and balance updates. Most of all I love the fact that they are forever improving and keep us up to date about those updates and what is around the corner. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

100% recommended.
