Very fast app with great design.

Starling support Samsung Pay, which was the reason why I switched from Monzo to Starling. That was the best personal banking decision I have made. Reviewed on: 16th November 2018

Mindblown at a fast, convenient and modern bank account

Starling Bank's service is amazing! They have solved the only reservation I had about the bank i.e. the lack of cash deposits. Now we can deposit cash into our accounts through postoffices! Their helplines work 24/7, 7 days a week - not that you'd need it though because everything is so user friendly! You can do everything within an app so easily. What would take days/weeks is done easily within a moment from Starling's app. It is truly the future of banking: putting customers in power. Reviewed on: 16th November 2018

Great bank

Bank is amazing! I love how whenever money enters or leaves your account, I get a notification on my phone about how much it was and where its went to/came from. Also its great how there is 0% fees if card is used abroad. Reviewed on: 15th November 2018

Excellent Tech Bank! The future if UK banking is here

This bank is simply incredible. I spend 4 months of every year travelling abroad, and being able to use my card abroad in the same way I do back home, with instant spend notifications all for FREE in foreign currency is INCREDIBLE!! The customer service is amazing, quick and innovative. I love not having to call Starling as I can chat to them via the app! I have recently took the plunge and moved my salary payments to starling along with my final Direct Debits from NatWest which I've since closed, and I'm IN LOVE with Starling Bank! Their portrait debit card is also SEXY!! And I get so many comments about it when using it in shops! I never thought it possible to fall in love with banking again......Until I met Starling ❤️ Reviewed on: 12th November 2018

Love the the control I have though just an app. The functionally available and the simplicity of it all - from opening an account through to day to day customer service - other banks should take note. Reviewed on: 12th November 2018

Very happy with instant notifications of all my transactions; able to save for goals; easy to politely ask and receive money from friends and strangers without compromising my bank details. It keeps up with my busy lifestyle - and gives me the lifestyle I need. Its great! Reviewed on: 11th November 2018
