Human banking, from an app.

5
One of the biggest things that sets Starling apart from its competitors, is the ability it has to bring a human touch to a piece of software. Not only do they have a great product, where you can keep an eye on your spending, earn interest on your cash and easily set money aside for the inevitable rainy day, they have a great team. They are bringing the human side back to banking, something I never thought an app would do! Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Does what it says on the tin!

Not all fancy jargon loaded blurb, just a straightforward “fee free” current account with absolutely no charges for using their debit card abroad - Long may it continue Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Initially sceptical, this bank is so much better than anything that I have experienced in the High Street as well as most of the other startups! As a journalist writing about this issue, I have tried out several. Starling is by far the best! Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Cannot rave about Starling enough. I love the service, how quick and efficient staff are when you need help, the app is great and is simple to use, the list goes on! Starling is everything that a high street bank SHOULD be, and more. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

I was hesitant at first signing up but now that I have, I am a firm believer in Open Banking! I used the card on holiday in Hvar and loved the security controls I can control on my card! Keep up the great work Starling Bank Reviewed on: 17th January 2018
