Great bank overall and has helped me change my personal finances. My only quibble is that customer service could sometimes be a little faster to respond in an emergency. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

First class bank and service

I have been using Starling for years now and would not dream of moving to another bank. Every banking process is easy and straightforward. If I have had an issue with an unrecognised payment they have investigated and resolved it quickly. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Anthony, thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear that our interest rate does not seem to be working for you, and when it comes to overdrafts, these are offered based on eligibility. Just to clarify, interest is calculated daily and paid monthly on the first day of the following month and while you may not be eligible for an overdraft currently, this may change in the future. Thanks again. Team Starling, Response date: 20th March 2024

Good, easy to use app.

Good, easy to use app. I’ve also found the text chat with a human rather than a bot useful when I had a query Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Fast and efficient

I had my card details stolen somehow, and they were used in an Argos hundreds of miles away, for around £300. They were fast and efficient, and I got my money back within a few days. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
