Breath of Fresh Air to banking

Nothing whatsoever to complain about. All Good!! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

How banking should be

For years I wondered why banking wasn’t taking advantage of the obvivois potential of our phones to help us manage our money better. Then Starling cropped up and has delivered everything I wanted from a current account and is continually evolving so I know next year will be even better Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Hassle free banking

Quick, simple and at your fingertips Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Easy and reliable

I've opened my bank account in a few minutes and all the process was very simple. After all, my debit card has arrived in less than 7 working days. The bank is always in touch, I receive news letters in e-mail, they are always communicating the customer about changes and/or improvements, I don't pay any charge or fee (as I heard about some online bank are doing). As a satisfied customer I can highly recommend Starling bank. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Very customer focussed.

Starling are a great bank to use when travelling anyway but it quickly became apparent that they listen to their customers and have superb customer service, so I now use them as my main account. The app based banking is great but what really makes the bank are the improvements they have put in place since I signed up. Post Office deposits and the new penny saving abilitily standing out. They have more substance than competitors that simply go for the asthetics and I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Impressive

I recently opened a current account after having switched from Santander to natwest and not being at all happy with Santander I have found natwest to be no better as soon as I get my £125 switch payment I'm moving to starling who have been brilliant so far Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Top bank

Brilliant friendly customer service, good app and Apple quality packaging for debit card. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

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

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

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
