Future Banking for today

To boldly go where no bank has gone before. Just like the best sci-fi, that sees the future before it happens. A bank that reflects the power of tech in the modern digital world. Just like Captain Kirk or Picard, explore, navigate through the virtual space of the banking universe and if necessary fire the occasional photon torpedo at anything that threatens your financial security (although setting phazers to stun should suffice in most unfriendly encounters as you'll come across more Ferengi than Klingons. For non sci-fi geeks that's like dealing with opportunist thieves rather than major online fraudsters) Command your finances from the "bridge" of the "Starling Enterprise", sorry I mean the app. Seems like everyone on this planet called Earth has a smart device. So why not use it to keep your money at your fingertips. So all in all do everything thing that you would with less evolved species of banks but with a more fingers on approach and at warp speeds if you need to get out of a sticky situation quickly. Oh and don't forget fee free foreign transactions for when you leave the UK Galaxy and venture further afield into Europe or beyond. (Great for online shopping from Amazons sister sites in Europe or buying an exotic cocktail from the cantina in Mos Eisley or a sangria in Fuerteventura) So if you're hesitating making the hyperspace leap into Tech Banking, I would say ...Make it so.....Engage.! Live long and prosper! Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Great mobile bank

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

Excellent app/top notch service

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

Fabulous!

Easy to use. Great exchange rates for overseas purchases. No admin fee too! Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Highly recommended

Fantastic. The app is super easy to use, any issues are always quickly addressed. Everything is very straight forward with them 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

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

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

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

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
