Better than Monzo

Quicker to a comprehensive current account experience. Always on hand on chat. All the capabilities of a modern bank, without the bad UX and customer service. LOVE! Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

An Amazing Bank That Is Going Places!

I have only been a Starling Bank customer for a short time. When first seeing Starling Bank being promoted and recommended to me by a fellow blogger friend, I was soon to keep the name in mind and check out the bank in its pre-development stages. Soon enough, the bank was launched and alive. Their features are outstanding and with the added ability of sharing your suggestions and the team being open to feedback and taking on new ideas. I love the personal feel this bank provides, yes, there is thousands of other customers, but the way their customer service is, it really makes feel as though bank knows you already and is there to speak with you at any moment. I'll be honest, I haven't dealt with their telephony team as I haven't felt the need too, as their live chat feature is my go-to. Overall, there are no negatives. My spending has dramatically seen a big difference and being able to see you spending in real-time is fabulous. If you haven't considered moving over to Starling, I would seriously consider it. You really, really, really will not be let down. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Embracing the digital age

Rapid app updates, incrementally adding features and great customer service are a winning combination. Very happy customer! Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Intuitive & Easy

My starlit account is everything I need it to be and more; from great exchange rates whilst abroad, to helping me save for key milestones and controlling everything via my smartphone. It slots easily into my life and I’ve become an active bank user rather than a passive one, which is certainly the way I treated the high street bank account that I held for over 20 years. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

The Future Of Banking Is Here

Applying for the account was surprisingly pain free. Enticed by the no-fees abroad aspect of the account, I have come to use the account for other business more and more. My long standing current account experience is looking shabby in comparison with the Starling account. A recent startup, Starling are happy to take and act on suggestions from their customers for improving their product. That is a journey I look forward to being part of.

Great bank easy to use.

Excellent account. Easy to use. Helps manage money. Great overdraft. Great rates abroad. Not much more I could ask for in a bank. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Great and Easy to set up

As a challenger bank, Starling's easy to set up and very easy to use. Definitely a challenger to the traditional high street banks available Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Amazing, innovative, modern, always improving, amazing support.

I haven't completely switched over to having Starling Bank my only account, but it's getting ever closer to that. The app is incredibly easy to use and is constantly being improved. The potential for developers with the Starling API is also a huge contributing factor to me making an account. The one time I had to contact customer support it was almost as instant as an IM chat and they were more than happy to help the best they could. Big fan and only becoming more so! Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Banking done right.

I have been with Starling for 6 months now and everything has been seamless, queries resolved straight away, an almost too easy switching experience and a feeling that they are listening to their customers and actually changing their product and development cycle based on customer feedback. Can’t recommend enough and I am just waiting for the business account now! Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

The best current account.

I joined Starling Bank in May 2016, since then my financial life has improved so much and I am enjoying banking again. I recommend everyone to Starling. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018
