Starling are the best bank ever!

Starling are the best bank ever! And I’ve tried a few banks. They are so quick and responsive and everything is so easy to sort out with them. They’ve got some absolutely fantastic features like having money saving pots and being able to add extra virtual cards to be able to spend from. In addition to being able to track where you are spending money by categories. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Having been with all the major banks over the years, Sterling are the best for current accounts. Their online experience is far more friendly and efficient than others. I did experience some retailers whose card machines did not permit my Starling card but these occurances are getting fewer by the day. Access to statements is straightforward and unlike my previous account, I even earn interest. Definitely a modern bank that looks after it's customer. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

The company turns not having branches into an advantage by ensuring the app does everything needed - and more. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
