Life-changing

Starling has completely changed the way I view banking, even making it (dare I say it?) fun! The app is intuitive, juggling various products such as overdrafts, savings pots and more. Cheers guys! Reviewed on: 27th June 2018

Simple clean and it works

I am gradually switching over full banking to Starling. I like the simplicity of pots, expenditure breakdowns and the customer service is phenomenal . Reviewed on: 10th May 2018

App was awful customer service too

As a customer I lasted 2 days the app drove me completely crazy it wasn’t let me sign up and when I contacted the customer service has been worse than anything else no solution even installing it again therefore I decided to close the account it seems being an easy task but actually wasn’t I carry on receiving welcome emails and how to use the card when I actually forward on several emails my intention to close the account I am still waiting that this simple task will me performed overall a very awful experience Reviewed on: 9th April 2018

It just works! Sign up for free with referral code 6DYPC7V9

Sign up for free with referral code 6DYPC7V9 I gave this bank a go in 2017 and it was my first time venturing into an online only bank. Well, the experience has been great. The app is second to none, immediate updates with transactions, it’s clear, great security and the customer service when I have used it has been fantastic. Although it’s online only don’t let that put you off. You can pay in cash or immediately fund your account by bank transfer or debit card. You can use your card abroad with no fees at favourable rates. You can instantly lock and unlock your card using the app which is a handy feature. The bank is going from strength to strength. If you’re not totally sure about using it as your main account then open one and give it a try. The process is super easy and quick and you’ll be up and running with an account in no time. I’m sure after trying you’ll be using the account transfer service which Starling provides to move your account over without fuss and say goodbye to traditional banks. Reviewed on: 10th March 2018
