Great app

Very easy to open an account, great tutorials on how to use the app. Love how quick they notify you when money has entered or left your account by notification. Much faster than my current account with another bank. Gives peace of mind. Used abroad with absolutely no issues. Reviewed on: 16th April 2026

Absolutely pain-free experience with Starling.

Every single thing I've ever wanted to do with Starling, right from beginning the application process has been painless. I can't say that about any other financial institution I've dealt with. The app is easy to use, the functionality is great, the "spaces" are sooo handy and the customer service is fast, efficient and friendly. I've been with them for years and there hasn't been a single instance where I've regretted opening the account. Reviewed on: 16th April 2026
