The best bank

Starling is always innovating and have the best customer experience. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Simply the Best - Better than all the Rest

A great service. The app is really easy to use to pay in cheques (for the time you get one these days) and/or transferring money to different accounts or the different 'areas' you've set up within your own account. The best part for me is the fee free use abroad with excellent exchange rates and, with near instant notification of any transaction, it's really easy to keep track of spending. I also like the fact that you are automatically logged out of your account as soon as you leave the app. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Best bank ever!

I love that you can put money into pots, set aside for specific things. Never had a problem with the bank - they're great! Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Efficient, friendly, open, trustworthy

Cannot recommend these enough. Easy to set up an account, super easy to use app, gives you so much information on your spending, shows it graphically - I always know where I am with my money and it’s no effort in my part! They allow you to have saving spaces, which makes it easy to squirrel away money for that special occasion. Absolutely brilliant. Innovation. Any questions, ask on the app and they’re quite quick to respond. And they’re so much more ethical than all the others out there! :) Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

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

An excellent HONEST Bank!!

Nothing hidden, always honest and puts their customers first. Wouldn’t think of banking with anyone else. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

The bank you're looking for

I would highly recommend Starling Bank's current account to anyone looking for a modern, flexible, and user-friendly way to manage their finances. With its user-friendly mobile app, range of benefits, and excellent customer support, it's a top choice for those looking to take control of their money. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

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

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

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

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
