Easy, helpful and intuitive.

5
It was so easy to set up a new account. I receive regular email update as to what is going on and the instantaneous alerts whenever anything changes in my account gives me peace of mind. The Goals is a brilliant idea for saving and now with Round Up - genius. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Simplicity

Simple yet secure method of signing up and creating an account. Then when you have the account the switch went without a hitch and the ability to save to goals is great. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Banking as it should be

5
I heard about Starling Bank quite by chance and thought I would give them a try. From the very first instant they have been tremendous. Setting up an account was a doddle and they were with me all the way. I was going to give them a three month trial before switching to them but I have been so impressed that the big switch will happen very soon. This bank is so innovative, so full of brilliant ideas and so customer focused. Simply brilliant and leaving other banks standing. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

The perfect modern bank

Starling have created a perfect 21st century banking app. Instant transaction information, zero cost cash withdrawals in Europe - what's not to like! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Bank of the future

5
Easy and quick to open an account. Loads of features which normal banks don’t provide like purchase categorisation. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Love it.

5
I love it. For home and abroad. Easy to monitor spending through instant notifications. Easy to create many savings goals, without having to open up additional savings accounts. Not only do you have the ability to turn your debit card on and off, but you can restrict different types of transactions. Spending on my debit card abroad means I get the wholesale rate of exchange. Also, you can draw up to £300 a day from an ATM when abroad. No other bank matches this. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
