Modern day banking

Been a HSBC customer for over 10 years and they failed to adapt to today's technologies, online and mobile banking are dreadful and painstaking to say the least. Until, I heard about the wave of fintec banking, which lead me to sign up for Starling Bank. I was able to sign up within minutes, app is easy to use with great modern features such as fingerprint security, card freezing, marketplace and being able to keep track of your transactions effortlessly on your phone. Oh and, Customer service is top notch, available 247, resolving issues timelessly unlike traditional banks. Took it to my abroad too, with no transaction it ATM fees, this card is a no brainer really! I now use Starling Bank for my business and couldn't be happier. Days of frustration are over. Modern day banking is the future, don't get left behind. Reviewed on: 17th December 2018

A Fresh New Bank

A pleasant change from the banks of old who are more interested in taking your money than looking after their customers. Great service, app and product. Reviewed on: 16th December 2018

Money made my way

Oh dear Starling!

Quite a poor first impression to the point that I closed the account as soon as it was verified! It took days to verify and it seems you can deposit money but not withdraw until you're verified. Not clear from the beginning that the email you get that says 'Your're In' does not mean your account is totally usable (see above), CS take not hours but days to respond. Had problems with the app to right from the start; after loading the app and logging out, when you try to log back in again it took you to the 'verify' screen. You had to uninstall/reinstall the app to get beyond this screen but after logging out and logging back in you got the 'verify' screen so, yep, you had to uninstall/reinstall the app to go further. I'm off to Monzo now... Reviewed on: 12th December 2018
