So streamlined

Easy to use app even though I am not of the younger generation I can navigate the system easily. A streamlined money tool. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

The best of the new challenger banks

I tried a number of new mobile-based challenger banks before settling on Starling. More features and fairer fees than any competitor. After six months I switched all of my banking to them. Benefits include instant notifications, spending insights, separate savings goals, full digital wallet support, fee-free foreign spending and ATM withdrawals, interest on positive balances and a low overdraft interest rate. A number of family and friends have switched to Starling and I have no hesitation recommending this bank. You can sign up using your mobile in minutes and they also provide joint accounts and fee-free business accounts. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

The future of banking

Starling Bank is innovating virtually every aspect of banking. What other bank tells you BEFORE a direct debit payment will take you into overdraft? In conjunction with Yoyo Wallet it is now possible to attach a full VAT receipt to a payment made using the Starling debit card. The Marketplace section of the app also enables your Sterling credentials to be shared with selected partners to simplify signing up for other services. Card functionality can be adjusted simply via the app, so lost cards can be stopped and re-started when the card is found. It is also possible to prevent gambling payments from being made.

The future of Banking

This bank is built for the future. Frequent updates with lots of new features and improvements. This is the way banking should be in 2018 Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

I'm back and wow

Last year I tried Starling and didn't like them. Then closed my account I've decided to try them again and I must say, the change is unreal. Support is fast and slick, the app has clearly been worked on and is such an improvement over what it was last time I tried it. Really a great experience now for a challenger bank!
