The future of banking

Easy sign up process, great customer service and a great product! Don't think I can go back to a standard bank after using starling Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Simple & hassle free

Instant real time balance. Easy overdraft set up. Customer service very friendly & very quick, all in app rather than waiting on hold. Cannot fault, have fully switched & would not hesitate to recommend. Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

How banking should be

Instant notifications means I know exactly how much is in my account. No more trying to remember what you paid for on your debit card but isn't showing yet. Easiest and fastest account opening. Great responsive customer service agents. All this and interest on your current account. Fan bloody tastic! Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Great new bank

1) Great app 2) Great community 3) Easy to use 4) Up to date Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

A Truly Modern Bank

Starling has completely modernised the banking experience, with a real focus on how improved financial technology can improve customers’ lives. Throughout all this, their service has been completely stable, with next to no downtime. A stellar achievement. Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Superb mobile-only bank account

I've been evaluating a few of the new challenger banks and Starling is by far my favourite. Very slick app, both Android and Apple Pay integration, no foreign transaction fees and a simple, fair overdraft. It's likely that I'll switch my main current account to this mobile-only bank very soon. Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

It's changed the way I bank.

From the simplicity on my phone, to the instant transactions and notifications, along with the detailed debit card controls and the Goals function letting me put money aside for things I'm saving for, Starling covers it all in a slick, five-minute-to-open, easy to use, attractive app from a forward thinking bank. Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Genuinely the best thing that could happen to my phone

Using starling for almost a year. It’s helped me with transferring money, understanding my spend and the customer service are incredible. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Amazing

Best banking app ever, a positive step in the right direction for the whole industry. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Best bank, full stop.

Beyond the fact that the account offers great rates for currency exchange, starling has surpassed my expectations in terms of customer service, design and community awareness. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018
