Excellent and has changed the way i bank

The instant notifications were what sold starling to me but it wasn't until I got the account that I realised the other things , such as pots that kind of offset, make a huge difference to what I can do and how easy I can make managing my finances. They are quick to respond to feedback and are always introducing new features.Customer services is top notch too. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

For those who lookfor technology

5
Everyone who look for new, modern and tech experience, who wanna be up to date on every single operation on the account and wanna manage their finance by their phone with the price they can afford for. Quick, very customer friendly and tech innovative. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

Rattling the chains of old banking

5
Refreshing approach to one stop seamless current account banking. Just needs joint accounts for the other 2 stars. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

Proactive and reactive

5
Love the roadmap that the team have and what they are aiming to achieve however I think I love them more for the small tweaks they are willing to make based on user feedback. The adjustments to the IOS payment screen and the logo improvements seem to have stemmed from user feedback- what other current account in the market can you actually see an enhancement that you have asked for and also in the matter of months. Amazing. Reviewed on: 19th January 2018

Excellent

5
An excellent current account, with few to little fees. I feel like I'm helping to build a banking product and my feedback on the product is genuinely listened to and implemented into the product. Finally a bank that actually listens to what it's customers want! Reviewed on: 19th January 2018

How Banking should be

5
Fully functional mobile app with great feature and benefits. Everything from the initial easy sign-up through to a fast, flawless account switch service has been perfect. Instant push notifications for all transactions and fast payments have all been great. Free FOREX transactions and Goals features are wonderful additions. Reviewed on: 19th January 2018

Finally a digital account worth switching for!
