On the many occasions speaking with starling they have given me a fantastic and helpful response almost sometimes in seconds, not only is there app very comfortable and user friendly the handy goals feature allows for saving money without having seperate accounts. Fantastic service and a bright future for mobile banking, The Future! Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Fall in love with your bank

5
Up to the second balance on the touch of a thumbprint. Spend notification on phone before I’ve even picked up my purchase. Toggle to freeze my card while I panic turning my house upside down looking for my card. Smug gloat when I count the pennies in my savings goal pot. Automatic loyalty reward when I buy my coffee. For these and many other more reasons, I just love it. Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Convinient, Friendly Mobile Banking For the Modern Age

Easy to set up, easy to use, with card security features not really seen with any other banking provider. Earning interest on the balance without monthly fees is a nice addition, and the lack of fees for transactions in foreign currencies is perfect for travelling and online purchasing!

Simply the best banking experience, this is the future of banking. Thank you Starling for having me onboard. And making an app that provides everything you will need to know. Super fast, super efficient and so reliable. Never had a problem. Prices for o/draft are some of the best around. I will never look at going anywhere else. So please stay around ok.
