A Truly Modern Bank

5
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

5
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.

Breakthrough

Don’t know why all banks don’t offer an app as fantastic as Starling Bank - it’s revilutionised my daily finance experience and helped me keep on top and save for the future in a more motivated and easily traceable way (so it lasts more than a few weeks) Reviewed on: 17th January 2018
