How Banking should be

My wife introduced me to the account and now the whole family have an account it's so simple and flexible I wish all bank would have the same ethos Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Simple, effective disruption

5
I’ve had a “high street” bank for 25 years. In that time I have been communicated with directly and proactively twice. I joined Starling as it made sense and was functionally ahead of Monzo, and within 2 weeks I had been talked to more times and could see more clearly than ever before my fiancical budget and spending:- a phenomenal piece of banking! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Sensational Starling

5
A very handy, easy access app makes this mobile bank super to use in a modern world. Great little saving tips with automation to help for those rainy days! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

How mobile banking should be

5
Very easy to set up and most importantly for me available on a good variety of mobile payment platforms. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

A murmur of Appreciation

5
I had read the press buzz about the "challenger" banks and after some research decided on Starling as money was FSCS registered. They are a revelation, easy to set up the account, clear, concise and do what they say.. Love the instant notifications and the super rates of currency conversion when I spend abroad. This 63 year old is now a converted Starling. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Easy to use

5
I'm not using starling fully at the moment untill I get my new job. But I'm loving using it as a savings account at the moment. It's so easy to use and I love that it tells you when you send money and recieve it. My parents recommend it to me and now my sister uses it ! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Awesome

5
Me and my wife got a starling account to use when we traveled to America for our honeymoon and loved everything about them so much when we got home we transferred both our current accounts to them. I can't recommend them enough Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

How banking should be

From opening the app, to applying via the app receiving the card & using the app and customer service Starling couldn’t be better. A fantastic new way of banking. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
