Breath of fresh air to banking

I’ve had a Starling bank acc since October 2017 and will be making this my primary bank account moving from HSBC. The app and the modern banking experience is superb matched by their customer service. I can’t wait to be part of the growth of Starling and look forward to what market place will offer Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Easy bank and great app.

Amazing easy to open an account via the app. No fees to use abroad and love the instant notifications for any transactions. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Fully fledged bank in an app

I switched to Starling from my legacy bank and never looked back. Unlike the big banks that offer full-featured online banking and a limited mobile app, Starling allows you to do everything you ever need in the app, without complicated security devices. It also has innovative features such as instant transaction notifications, company logos and goals. In addition, the customer service is far superior to any legacy bank I’ve used.

Fast, Efficient, Inovative

From the outset communication has been easy, things have happened fast, zero issues. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018
