A new way of banking

The simplest and most convenient way to do any transaction Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Flawless Service

I'm not one for writing reviews, in fact I've been a Coventry Buildiny Society customer sinc I was 5. Starling changed that for the better. More control with my finances. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Amazing

For someone who generally hates everything to do with banking, I literally cannot stop banging on about starling to anyone who will listen. And presumably many who aren’t listening to me!! It’s just fantastic. If you haven’t tried it yet, you should... Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Is the future!

From opening the account to contributing to the community is a pleasure! Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

A refreshing change

After over 30 years with Lloyd’s I grew tired of their charges, lack of customer service etc, so switched to starling. They’ve been fantastic right from the start, their app is amazing and instant and helpful customer service where they don’t make you jump through hoops to get the answers. I’ve been recommending them to everyone! Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

A refreshing start!

Simple to join, delivery as stated, nicely laid out app, no international charges and a favourable overdraft. Look forward to using this account. Well done! Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Changing the world!

I’d been with my previous bank for more than 9 years, however since signing up to Starling Bank it’s changed how I think about my money massively. The instant updates are so clever and I’m surprised this isn’t common practice now. The ‘Goals’ features give me the ability to actually start saving money for the first time ever. I’ve also just come back from Berlin and it was the first time I’ve not had to carry about Euros and not worry about massive charges! Absolutely perfect, I tell everyone I know about it.

Simple, easy and listens

Simple to join, easy to use, feature rich functionality and they listen to their customer suggestions Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Human banking, from an app.

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
