A modern bank

Offers everything you can want, simple to use, instant feedback on what’s happening with your account Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Sterling bank has helped me out alot.

Sterling bank has helped me out alot for this time of the year and I'm definitely going to share this feedback with friends and family. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Changed my (banking) life.

Everything about Starling is pretty much how you expect a bank to be. From instant notification of transactions to saving goals. It’s all so simple but I can honestly say it’s made my life so much easier. No more having to wait 1 week for card payments to come out over Christmas, & then finding out on NYE that I’m over my OD limit. With a recent house move, the savings goals were a life saver. Setting a goal for each budget ensured i covered all expenditure with ease and didn’t dip into the stamp duty money by mistake! Even the telephone support was actually helpful (remarkable as so many call centres cause more stress) so when the house move was completing and I couldn’t get Halifax to perform extra checks when transferring £30k to my solicitor, Starling simply said “leave it with us”. I even get a grey exchange rate when I use the card abroad. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Real time banking

It’s so much easier to manage our money since we moved to starling! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Excellent all round

Absolute joy to bank with Starling, app is wonderful to use with more features than I could have imagined before using Starling. Updates are frequent and never affect the smooth running of the app. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Awesome

Awesome bank and easy to use - business banking is just as good Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

What more does anyone want?

It is easy to open an account. It does just about everything anyone needs - Full banking services, instant notifications, direct debits/standing orders, interest on credit balances, relatively low overdraft rates, and free use for cash and purchases abroad. In GB you can use NatWest to deposit cheques and cash and the Post Office to deposit cash. Only downside is that, in Northern Ireland, there is no NatWest and cheques have to be posted off.

Easy to use, helpful

Notifications when buying something, saving goals where you can round up your spending which helps you save quicker. It’s an all-round great bank Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Brilliant

Especially love you can use the card at home and abroad. Instant notification and customer service was really good when I had to contact Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Innovative and always on the go

Starling are always releasing something new and exciting to improve the functionality of their app as well as releasing new features like recently post office cash deposits or rounding up. I feel like they listen to what their customers want and take action. I’m excited to see what comes next as I continue my banking experience with them. Keep up the great work everyone! Amazing job!
