Great for use abroad

I use this bank account whenever I go abroad because of the lack of fees. The app is also really easy to use and helps you keep track of your spending. Customer service is also really quick and helpful. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Easy to use, gorgeous to look at, all with real humans!

5
Using Starling is a pleasure. It's fun to personalise the look and feel of the app and the easy access to human help is much appreciated. Starling has given me new ways of looking at my money and I feel more in control as a result, the experience is enriching on more than one level! Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Simply outstanding

5
The sign of a good bank is one that you never have to interact with - I'm confident that all my transactions are managed in the background but can always quickly check in the app if needed. If there's ever an issue, it never takes longer than 15 mins to chat to a real human and get it fixed. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Modern

5
Been using starling for years after traditional banks stuck in old ways, can manage everything from the starling app without speaking to a single person Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Great technology and service

5
The App is superb, completely customer based and so easy to use. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Best digital banking app

5
I left HSBC to bank with starling and it was the best decision I've made, everything is so clear, spread out into saving spaces and the virtual card is such a good idea, I can now save for a particular thing and then set up a card just for what I've been saving up for it's brilliant. I've never been so clear and in control of money, I even end up with money left over each month because I can clearly see what I have left to spend and what payments are coming up. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023
