Amazing

Fantastic app and brilliant customer service Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Never thought I would truly enjoy banking

Starling is the absolute best financial decision I have made. Having initially created an account to avoid foreign fees for a trip to Germany, I now use it as my primary bank. Having purchases taken off total balance instantly is a god send, easy way of splitting bills, easily depositing money at a post office, exceptional 24 hour customer service replacing a lost card in under 48 hours (and still always being usable with Apple Pay). I don’t even feel like I’ve scraped the surface but have encouraged friends who have also made the switch to Starling from banks stuck in the past. Truly the future I’d recommend starling to anyone.

The future of banking

I took our Starling card away with us to Japan. Not only could we pay and use it like a debit card back home but we could also withdraw cash each day, all without paying a fee! The app let me know about each purchase and topping it up was a doddle. It transformed our holiday and meant we didn't have to worry about money when abroad. And to think we had to use travellers cheques in the past! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Easy to use and always available at a glance

I am able to pay for items, pay bills and everything I need and can check on my balance any time. Plus the instant message every time money goes in or out is excellent Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Easy to use, modern and in touch with the modern day customer. Starling offers me everything I need in a current account.

I joined Starling after seeing an online advert and wasn’t expecting much. However, I’ve now ditched my previous bank, Barclays, to do all my banking with Starling. It shows me how much I spend each day, in an engaging pie chart, Starling also offers me a comfortable overdraft and allows me to set aside money for things I’m saving up for. Starling is a prime example of how modern day banking should be done. Simple, professional and personal to you. Customer service is top notch and respond to you within minutes on the mobile app. I don’t have a bad thing to say about them! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Amzing

Great bank, amazing app and great service Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Grade A

I switched from my legacy bank to Starling just under a year ago and I haven’t looked back. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Personal, customisable, simple

The app and card itself are beautiful, and the developers are always listening to feedback on how to make it even better. I love the ability to round up spending to save, the saving section, and the ability to deposit physical money into the account via the post office. Customer service is ways friendly and reliable too. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Such a useful app

Automatically informs you of money coming in and out of your account. Can use abroad easily. Would highly recommend Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
