5 stars

I've been banking with starling for a few months now and it's great. No account fees, can get cash out everywhere and don't need to worry about paying to get cash out abroad. Loving it Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Best banking experience ever.

Easy set up with very clear instructions. 24/7 customer service on hand via chat from phone. Friendly and very helpful. Complete control over card. The best, most straight forwsrd banking experience I have ever had. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Fantastic bank!

Moved to starling a while ago and it gets better and better . Continuous updates , quick and friendly advisors 24/7. Send ideas for app and they listen and even implemented one of mine. Who needs a high street bank not keeping up with the times. Starling will only get better and better if that’s possible! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Does it all

I've had a great experience with my accounts and recommended a number of friends to join. Everyone has been really impressed by Starling Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

WOW

Can’t fault them the big boys had best watch out. If you were to ask me I would say switch to starling as soon as possible Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

A bank for 2019

A fantastic bank that brings banking into the digital world. The speed of payments being taken, no pending transactions, seemless payments with contactless, Apple or Samsung pay and a message to the app the second you spend is by far and large the best bank account I’ve had. The app even keeps track of what you’ve spent daily monthly or on average and all at the tap of a button. This and I’ve not even got to the savings feature... 5/5 Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Great account

Very convenient, great communication, easy to use app and amazing from travelling Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

A challenger, mobile bank that is leading in useability and features. Starling has made me enjoy banking (never though that would happen)! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
