Best bank

Work for a much larger Bank and starling are far ahead of the game. Excellent quick service with lots of optional extras Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Money in the bank

Just SO efficient! Pays me money instead of charges, normally notifies me of transaction BEFORE I've been given a receipt, updates like lightening!! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Spaces at starling helped me save up

Overall a great experience w Starling, I especially love how one earns interest on the normal current account, (waaaaaay better than from a savings account from hsbc), and the spaces how easy it is to manage them and to be motivated to save better. Overall Starling helps me get better w my finances, and it was about time I did! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Great for tracking spending!

Starling sends you notifications every time you spend then allows you to categorize your transactions to make tracking your spending and budgeting a breeze. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Good Bank

Been with starling about 7 months. Quick to start up for us me and partner and then create a joint. app is great and integration with google pay. Notifications whem money os spent f om your account or joint account. just very easy. Dropped a star as we teied to set an account up for my 16 year old daughter but as she didnt have photo olid, there is no other way to set up an account. Overall though great. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Great on line bank account

I have a number of accounts with apps and I have to say this best bank account I have and it pays you interest at the same time great !! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Possibly a great step forward

I can't review over the long term because I haven't been banking with Starling for years, but my experience so far is VERY good. Smooth interface when app-banking all by myself, effective chat when unsure about something Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
