Simply amazing!

By far the best bank, clear simple pricing. Great interest rates super fast, friendly support available 24/7. No fees for foreign exchange. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Refreshingly new

5
Having banked with an 'online only' bank for a number of years, I was disappointed at their lack of innovation. Moving to Starling has been a great experience. It's refreshing to see new features that make my life easier and that no high street bank has. This really is a massive change in banking. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

My experience with Starling Bank has been faultless so far. The functionality of the app is excellent and the instant notifications really help to keep track of your spending. The community is active and supportive and it is clear that Starling are listening to their customers. Looking forward to what Starling have to offer in 2018 Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Easy to setup, use and check what is coming in and out of my account

5
Tired of my high street bank and how behind the times they are I took the plunge and opened an account with Starling. It was straightforward and hassle free, I can check at any time what is happening and love the fact when I use it abroad it doesn't cost an arm and a leg! Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Best bank ever!

Believe it or not I've tried most high street banks and I've never been impressed or happy! Whereas I'm super happy at Starling and any problem I've had had been swifty fixed! Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Easy to use, convinient, great team behind it

5
It was scary to leave the old banking world behind and move to a digital first bank but Starling made the process simple and less scary! Having live chat features and a powerful app made Starling much easier to use than my previous bank and due to this I found myself more inclined to check my balance, understand my finances and overall become more responsible. I'm now on my way to paying off my debt, saving for my future and my mental health is much better. All thanks to Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018
