By far the best mobile Banking

The best thing since slice bread Reviewed on: 6th February 2019

The best bank I've ever used!

I joined after seeing an advert on the tube for them and no fees! The app is second to none! No other banking app beats Starling and the customer service is amazing! I love how the app tells you instantly when you spend money and in UK pounds when you're abroad! You can deposit money at the post office for free compared to Monzo who charge you! The card is extremely cleverly made, I use the current account switching to switch from Co-op to Starling and now I use the card for everything! Would 100% recommend to anyone only takes a few minutes to apply! PS sending money to people is so easy with Settle Up sending money to people using Google or Apple Pay no sort codes or anything! Once me and my sister were on the train and I owed her £10 so we used the nearby function and held our phones next to eachother and it sent! Banks need to take a lot of hints from Starling!

So easy and convenient

So much easier and more convenient than any other traditional bank - the app is fantastic and never had a problem Reviewed on: 5th February 2019

AMAZING BANK

Opened a new account with starling as I was sick off the difficult and long winded processes I had with my previous high street bank. Starling make it simple and easy to use to have their products. Would recommend 100% Reviewed on: 5th February 2019

Most usefull and easy to use account

I started my account for my personal weekly spending, since then I have been able to save more money and look after my money much better because of easy overviews, and overall ease of use when paying people, no hassle, just straightforward Reviewed on: 5th February 2019

So easy to track spending/saving!

The app is so easy to navigate, it’s great for tracking your spending & saving. I love the ‘goals’ feature that allows you to put money aside for a particular event, like a holiday. The app alerts you when you spend and categorises your spending so you can keep on top of it and see where you could save yourself some money. The set up was really quick, I love that I can do everything on the app and don’t need to go into a branch to set anything up! Reviewed on: 5th February 2019

Revolutionary banking

Now banking has welcomed the 21st century with 24/7 customer support, text reminders and spending notifications managing your finances just got easy with Starling Bank. Set up as many savings goals as you like, withdrawn funds immediately from them or if you've simply changed your mind, just close that goal down and poof, in seconds those savings are back in your main account. Owe a friend for a night out or simply wanna dutch at dinner without the hassle of different payment methods ruining the mood don't worry, tally it up and later you or your friend can send a payment link through a social media platform like WhatsApp, click the link, follow instructions and get your money in real time, so there's no more checking for sort codes and card numbers, or chasing people up. The best thing though is if you're tucked up warm in bed doing some late night shopping and you realise you've left your purse downstairs there's no longer a need to get cold and grouchy, just log into the app and your details are easily displayed. Starling Bank really is that simple, it's banking made smarter. Reviewed on: 4th February 2019

Best decision of 2018

How banking should be... I actually feel like I've got real money in my pocket, when really I haven't. The app is fantastic, so easy to use and straight forward, like money should be.... just fantastic Reviewed on: 4th February 2019

Innovative fresh approach to banking

The application process is effortless and I’ve been using Starking Bank for a few weeks now. I cannot fault the concept and the experience from this provider. The app is so intuitive and allows you to be so much more in control of your banking. The real-time notifications in conjunction with the statement breakdown by merchant type is a revolution. It actually makes banking, saving and financial planning, date I say it “fun and interesting” I’ve already recommended starling to friends and family. Reviewed on: 4th February 2019
