Brilliant service

So easy to open the account, I have in fact opened a business account too Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Easy to use decentralised bank

No more remembering multiple convoluted one time passwords No more difficult to access and use online banking No more dealing with local branches to solve basic problems Simple and secure current account with an app that has fantastic user experience that is updated regularly. I finally feel like I’m with a bank who understands my needs Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Always ahead of time

I just love my starling account. Always developing features ahead of the rest of the market, super easy contact for help / customer services and always super streamlined processes. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Ease of use

You can move money to different spaces for different occasions and it dosnt dosnt show on your main account so you can just forget about it. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Over and above

Every tiny detail is thought of with this company in making not just banking easy but life. Always available for any eventuality all from your own home or wherever you may find yourself. I have power of attorney for my mum and her bank makes you go all around the houses to get anything done and to think they have high st branches and starling don’t is beyond belief how simple starling makes everything Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

A jewel among bankers

Starling Bank has continued to serve me best with my finances. As a frequent traveller, I still enjoy the benefit of fee-free payments and withdrawals abroad, which only shows how they value their clients' hard-earned money. Customer service is always on top of my concerns should I have one and is also accessible within 1 day of sending a message. Finally, I have taken advantage of their industry-leading innovations in online banking such as virtual cards, which I appreciate so much. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Excellent Bank no issues

The spaces really help me save for short goals! No issues, app interface is easy to use and customer has always been quick, personable, and sorted any issues I've surprisingly quickly. Would recommend! Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

A great modern bank!

After switching from a legacy bank (HSBC), Starling provided a breath of fresh air. The app is powerful, customer service is great, and the app encourages me to save money. A great bank! Reviewed on: 31st May 2023
