Outstanding product and development

5
I switched to Starling using CASS and was very straightforward. I love the DD notifications, and the instant notifications of spending money. I also have a joint account and it works brilliantly! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Just all round great

Starling is just great all round banking. Everything on app so easy to use. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

The best Ive used ever

5
I worked in retail banking for 12 years for big global banks. And Starling has achieved what these banks can only dream of in a matter of years. I’m not saying it’s for everyone, but it is for me. I don’t need an army of overpaid bankers circling my cash to justify their existence and boost their egos. The basic processes are just that - basic. They’ve embraced the digital age and open banking and it means I’ve not had to speak to a bank or banker since I joined. Keep disrupting Starling. The world is a better place because of it. Thank you Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Love this bank

5
I’m a new user to Starling and I’m totally converted. It was recommended by my brother and I’ve now recommended 5 people. They are all in love with the simplicity of this account and it really helps to take control of your money and look after every penny. I will be leaving LLYODS in the new year and converting everything over to Starling. Cannot recommend highly enough Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

How banking should be

5
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

5
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
