Great mobile bank

5
So easy to use and super fast responses Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Excellent app/top notch service

5
As I travel backwards and forwards to the Eurozone I was looking for a bank that gave me a great rate on conversions to euros. Starling is the one. I have found their app to be excellent - easy to use and secure - and have enrolled my daughter and other members of my family in their services. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Easy and quick to open

It has been so easy to open this current account, everything can be done through the app. I had no issues at all. With my husband we have also opened a joint account which is perfect for our household expenses. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

MODERN DAY BANKING

5
I heard of Starling on my local BBC Radio station, so I downloaded the app to take a look. I had an impending trip to the Continent and wondered how true the no charge claim was for international usage, so I put a nominal amount in to try it. I was so impressed that it was true, and the immediacy of the transaction appearing in you account, which was really useful when traveling with friends and splitting any bills. I consequently closed my regular current account and transferred to Starling as my regular current account. I have recommended Starling to a number of people, and at least two of those now use it. Modern banking which should have the big boys worried and upping their level of service. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Smart, Simple and great customer service

5
Sign up was super easy. Love the app, and the card. Always get asked about it! Banking as it should be. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

This is the way banking should be done

5
Starling have brought banking into the 21st century. All other banks could learn a thing or 5 from starling. They put me in control of my money when I need it. Everything I need is at my finger tips. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Bank of the future

5
I have nothing but positive reviews for this bank, from the ease of opening the account, to the card delivered like a gift from Tiffany, to the ease of use and transparency abroad, to the ways they help you be better with their money at.it seems there is a great team always coming up with more. Icing is that they pay interest and give a decent exchange rate. What's not to love. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

The Future

5
Well, it's a great app and bank account. Easy to navigate and it's great that it updates you and categorizes what you spend and where. Recommended this bank to three people all who have open accounts with Staking. 5 Star. Thank you Starling. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018
