Good Bank

I’ve had no issues using Starling, and the features they offer are better than any old style bank and superior to the other new Fintech banks that don’t offer full features or charge for basic services. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Excellent company that does exact what it says on the tin its the only time in my adult life I've actually trusted a bank. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

A bank that I never thought would ever exist.

I do not have words, all the banks that I have been with for the past 15 years none of them comes close to Starling. The best decision that I made in 2017 was to switch to Starling and ever since had no issues or troubles. Bank that gives you a lot more control on your money just at the finger tips. Please people vote for them with all honesty as we all know there is nothing better in the market anyone at the moment then Starling. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Fantastic customer experience

Incredibly easy account opening, no faff or waiting for approval like other banks. App is the easiest bank app I've ever used. Clear that tech first approach is the right one for consumer banking Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018
