The best bank ever.

5
Honestly, it just works and that's all that I want and need. Then they add little perks like who they sponsor and an interesting mailing list. Never had positive thoughts about a bank before, just neutral or negative. I recommend them to so many people! Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Stress free banking

5
I’ve found Starling to be easy to use, I can keep track of my funds and move them around instantly with no stress. The bonus for me is the fact that when I need advice I actually get to speak to a person. The tears are always helpful and friendly. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

It is more than a bank, is a financial structure

5
With Starling I have a better overview of the my finances. The different buckets, reminders and consolidation of bills gives me an overview of what is happening with my cashflow. When required customer service was unparalleled, fast, efficient and friendly. I recommend to all of my friends and family. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Easy & responsive

I would recommend Starling to everyone. Easy to use, responsive to my questions and changing the old perceptions of banking. As a customer I feel valued and seen. Thank you Team Starling Reviewed on: 1st April 2023
