Excellent

This is how bankijg should be, real time contactless updates Reviewed on: 30th January 2018

GREAT GREAT GREAT!

Complete innovation from Starling Bank. The game has been changed. How exciting to be a part of the next chapter in banking technology. Reviewed on: 29th January 2018

Top notch customer service

A few months ago I got locked out of the application due to the amount of devices registered. This was because the app would kick me off occasionally and I would need to log back in registering it as a new device. This meant I had to contact customer service which I had trouble reaching; I had no response to an email and it took hours to get through to the online support service but once I did all was resolved quickly. Due to the troubles Starling Bank sent me chocolates and a hand written apology showing the love the company has for its customers, its what makes it impossible for me to ever go back to Santander.

FinTech at it's best.

THIS is how contemporary banking should be. Need I say more? Reviewed on: 27th January 2018

The way forward

The way forwardBest leave bang on the market Reviewed on: 27th January 2018

Fantastic Challenger

All the basics are done smoothly, the UI for the app is uncluttered, no-nonsense and without attempting to be "cool" like other challengers like B from Yorkshire Bank are trying to be. Reviewed on: 26th January 2018

Great banking app

Easy sign up, quick response (card within days but into my Apple Watch and Apple Pay within minutes. Used the card in Australia, clear simple and cost effective transactions with no hidden “fees” or transaction costs. Incredibly simple interface, navigation and spend all mapped out.....Have Monzo as well and Starlingbpios it due to the goal savings and the fact that I don’t need my card in my pocket!!!! Would recommend if your looking for a simple no nonsense, transparent bank account which has a low carbon foot print to boot (no high street presence!) Reviewed on: 26th January 2018

Fantastic Bank and fantastic app

Cant speak highly enough about this bank. It has changed the way I bank and has made my life so much easier. Reviewed on: 25th January 2018

Slick and fuss free!

I've been using Starling Bank for 8 months now and I love it's forward thinking approach, slick processes, easy to use app, the features inc spending highlights, and being able to use it abroad at the best exchange rate without commission. Keep doing what you're doing Starling. Reviewed on: 25th January 2018
