Starling is how I imagine all banking services should be. Excellent customer service, exchange rates and some really innovative things like an app-first approach, spaces, easy joint accounts etc make it a brilliant service! Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Name changes are.not a pain with Starling

I've been with Starling for a few years now and they've been great. This year I got married and changed my name and not only were Starling the easiest bank to change my name with, they were the best of any company and government departments. They make it easy to be a.woman and customer. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

No regrets about moving to Starling

Since moving to Starling a few years ago, I've had no regrets about leaving the big international bank I was with before. Using the Starling app is easy and intuitive, and it's useful to have a Euro account as well as a Sterling current account. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
