The best bank I've ever been with

Super convenient, great features, everything works perfectly - control and do everything from your mobile. The customer service is also absolutely great and accessible from the app 24/7! .....

With interest paid on savings, debit card top-ups, cards that work at Post Offices, better cash withdrawals abroad it is head and shoulders above the ‘M’ - shaped competition. Well done everyone! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Best move I ever made

Since opening our joint account we have had no issues at all. Everything was easy to set up and checking out account is a doddle. I have recommended to family and friends who have all opened accounts and are very happy with it. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Love the free use of abroad transactions

5
Instead of paying to withdraw money with other banks, Starling allow you to withdraw for free, with no charges. And the fact that within starlings banking app your able to get 3 months statements up straight away without having to make any extra effort. Which is brilliant for daily bills etc. I think their brilliant Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Love it, and has made banking so much easier

5
I was a little sceptical at first about opening an app bank account, but it didnt take long to realise it was the best decision I made with regards to banking, and I have recommended it to lots of friends and family, who now also use it. I did try a couple of others, but had a few issues, I then found Starling, and have been using it nearly a year and have not had a single issue, not one, have also switched my business account to them as well now. Its how things should be, secure and user friendly. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
