Best account I have ever had

5
Starling are without a doubt the best account I have ever opened! It’s so easy and straightforward and I won’t use any other card abroad now! I tell everyone to open an account with them because the app makes it so easy to manage. I honestly can’t recommend them enough. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Excellent challenger bank with the customer as the main focus.

5
I’ve been a customer for a little over two years, being new to challenger banks I had my reservations, but stealing truely blows everything else out of the water. Amazing features and no daft fees! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Banking for the 21st Century.

5
Banking with Starling has completely revolutionised the way I manage my money. Before I opened my Starling account, I had no idea where my money was being spent. I’d find myself overdrawn and not have a clue how to find out when I became overdrawn. Spending insights, in app notifications, and the ability to save money from the same account are a winner! The starling team are always adding new features so users can better manage their money. Thank you team Starling, keep up the stellar work. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Fantastic service from a bank that's not on the high street

Simple and smart, the best of both worlds for personal banking

I absolutely love the way Starling speak to us as customers. Friendly and informative, offering the right amount of information in succinct, easy to understand ways. Always working hard to find new ways to help its customers, you really feel like these smart, savvy professionals have your best interests at heart, and not in the money sense!

After I had a horrible experience with TSB, I decided to open an account with Starling and to be honest, since then, I have never looked back. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Great bank

5
Super easy and quick to set up an account. Interest paid on credit balances. All on line but with option to use Post Office for deposits. Everything about this bank account is easy. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
