Modern app

4
Starling have put a lot of thought into how people use app based banks, the user experience is smooth, particularly the sign up process. More work is needed on the UI, it doesn't need to be so similar to others in this space. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Good banking addition

4
Good alternative for spending outside UK. Easy to manage daily spending Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

A bank that's on my side

5
Seemless customer experience, particularly the sign up process. The first bank that feels like it's on my side, rather than trying to make money from unfair fees and charges. Goals functionality and spending breakdown fantastic. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Best thing since the wheel!

Starling helped me when high street banks turned their back on me, thanks to Starling I am turning my life around! I cannot praise them enough! Long live Starling Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Best Bank of 2018 guaranteed

5
I mean where to start, the bank is just amazing , clean UI new features all the time, notifications to let you know when the card was used etc or when it was used online , notifications for when money was transferred in/out and honestly the best bit if all is that they listen to the community Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Game changing

5
Starling Bank has most certainly changed the way I bank. In this digital era it made zero sense to co tongue using a traditional current account, and I have zero regrets for making the move. A host of features and benefits that have benefited me over just a few days of making the switch. I look forward to seeing what the team has planned for the future and will certainly continue recommending it to friends and family. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Best bank EVER!

5
I have already recommended starling to my mum and sister who has changed over to starling. I've also recommended to friends hoping they will switch. Best bank I've ever used. I love the features this bank offers compaired to other banks & the cards are real unique, always getting asked about the card. Customer service are always real helpful and solve problems straight away :) Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018
