Great way to bank

Excellent day to use app, fantastic customer service. Banking made pleasurable. Reviewed on: 10th February 2018

Incredibly simple, future-focused banking

5
Everything is easy, so different to any other banking experience I've had either online or offline. Friendly, helpful customer service; clear, concise view of your account and great tools that I know will get even better with time. And, as we're talking about excellence and the future, of course, the bank is led by a woman - hallelujah to that and a change to the old boys club that currently runs old fashioned banking.

Modern Banking for the Digital Age

5
Starling is rock-solid, with little to no downtime. On top of this bed of reliability, they have built truckloads of useful features that make people's financial lives so much easier. Their API is first-rate and the marketplace is going to vastly expand the functionality of a Starling account, which is already miles above any other current account out there.

One great journey....

In under a year there’s been a revolution in current accounts. And with Starling Bank, I’m part of it. The app, the customer service experience + the all important user forum. And that’s all before the upcoming features in 2018. Buckle up ! Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Unbelievable customer experience

5
Seriously the best bank account I’ve ever had. Having banked with an high street provider for over 35 years. The app is fantastic, easy to use, immediate payments and instant notifications. The customer service is second to none. Cannot praise this fintech company enough. Great job Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Simple Banking the way it should be

Have nothing to say other than good things regarding Starling, simple to use, great support, easy application process and contactless debit card that gives instant updates to your phone. Have trialled them for around a year now and the hard work and effort they put into the product is clearly showing, keep up the great work 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewed on: 9th February 2018
