Great service

5
Easy to use app with lots of features missing from the bid retail banks. Would definitely recommend to all, very easy to set up an account and received my card within a few days. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

The best for banking

4
The banking experience has been rather great from the first time I’ve open my current account. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Great inovative bank

5
Quite new to the bank but the quick reliable service is really impressive. A cheque I sent by post was cleared and in my account within three days. Transactiona leave the balance straight away so that you know exactly where you are with your finances. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Banking in the modern day

5
This is how I imagine banking would be in 2019 - a fast, intuitive app that allows me to manage my money better than all 'high street' bank apps. Good customer service. More features than I'd know what to do with. So simple to set up a joint account. Can't recommend them enough. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Amazingly simple, track your spending with no hassle

5
Since I switched from HSBC TO Starling Bank as my current account I have been amazed with the service and simplicity of the banking app. I can track my spending using the chart shown on the scree and make adjustments to my savings on the fly. I would like the option to "lock" some of my goals on the spaces service so the money cannot be accessed until a target has been acquired. I have recommended Starling to my family and freinds some of which are switching their current accounts to Starling bank. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Banking done correctly

5
I use Starling Banking for all of my banking needs at this point. It's simple to use the app, fees are almost non-existent compared to traditional banks and the quick pace at which they add new (and actually useful) features is fantastic. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

No fuss, uncomplicated banking.

5
Easy to open account with security at the heart of it. All documents and cards arrive on time as promised. The App is the easiest to use out of several other banking apps I have used. Everything about the brand, the app and the bank as a whole ouses quality and it does everything that most online banks and apps do. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Great bank.

5
It’s about time we got an honest high tech bank that delivers what it promises. I like it a lot. I am moving more and more of banking activity to Starling. Great bank. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Simple, effective and efficient

5
Since jumping ship from one the big high street banks, I have not had a single problem with Starling. The app comes with many features that some mainstream banks charge for. App is updated regularly, and the emails are current and useful. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Everything you would expect

Excellent service and communication Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
