Such a great bank. Couldn't be happier

So easy to set up and to use. Great features which help to manage money coming in and going out. So impressed with Starling for both Personal and Business. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Reassuring when you are worried about security.

5
Easy to contact. I had a problem with a scam, money taken fraudulently from my account. It was only a small amount, but I worried they may come back for more. I contacted Starling and the handled it very professionally and reassured me my money was safe. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

A premium banking service that always impresses

5
Such a truly refreshing banking experience and so, so, much better than the traditional high street competitors. Such a simple but entirely customer centric product which I cannot rate highly enough. The UK is a much better place with Starling Bank and I wouldn’t even dream of banking elsewhere. Huge congratulations to ALL the Starling team. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Review of Starling Bank

5
Since moving my account to Starling in November 2019 I have found it to be an absolutely excellent bank. It has just about everything I would want from a bank with the ability to freeze and unfreeze my bank card to increasing or decreasing my contactless limit multiple online debit cards saving spaces the ability to pay direct debits from saving spaces and the ability to tailor make bank statements. There are probably more but these are the ones I can remember. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Best Banking Experience

The app is easy to use, and the spaces feature help manage and monitor where my money goes. Transfers are fast and efficient. I also get prompts to confirm transactions before they are authorised. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Best bank

Starling is the best bank I have come across so far in the UK, both from a tech and customer service standpoint. The app is built in a way that makes it extremely easy and convenient to use and every time I need assistance I am able to interact with a human being in short order. Super convenient also for multi-currency accounts. Would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

The app is a game changer

5
The app is easy to use, informative and well designed. I like the notification when spending and the addition of pots for paying bills etc. I find the layout far easier and more appealing than rival banks, including Monzo Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Excellent bank.
