So convenient

Easy online banking with very responsive customer service. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Easy Peasy!

I remember setting up my Starling Bank app, and thinking at the time, “this is super easy! Am I really opening a bank account on my phone?” Since then, I have had my wages put into my bank, and I am absolutely loving the breakdowns of transactions by category, merchants etc. It really slows me to see where I am spending my money, and help me cut down. The overdraft facility is amazing too. I am paying so much less than I would with a dinosaur bank, and it’s easy to see how long I have been in my overdraft for, and how much I have paid in charges over the period. I absolutely love Starling Bank, and would recommend it to everyone looking to switch bank. Transparency at its best! Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

So far in such a short time

Starling have come a LONG way in their short time, I've moved my current account of 30+years from one of the big banks to them and am more than happy. Only complaints are that its difficult to access a large amount of cash in one go, and paying in cheques is also tedious, especially now Lloyds allow you to scan in via the app. But these are occasional use cases. Given the level of branch closures by the high st. banks choosing Starling now is a no brainier, if my previous bank still had a branch I could use then they might have an advantage, but they're throwing that away and Starling can out tech them anyday.

Easy, simple & quick

This bank has been superb in helping me regain control over spending & saving. It’s very easy to set up and the UI is simple and intuitive. All of this for less than a 5 minute set-up! The future of being in control & finacually organised is in starlings hands! Reviewed on: 13th January 2019
