Starling the best Internet banking

5
I’ve been with starling bank now for about 4/5 years, (I think!) I joined starling as I needed a second bank account where I could do everything online/through there banking app,as sometimes I can’t physically get in side a bank due to my health, so I wanted one that didn’t have banks as such, where only online. After looking on the internet for weeks to choose a bank to go with,I decided to go with starling and I’ve never looked back! There banking app has always been straight forward to use, and understand. I have recommended starling to family and friends who some have opened their own account with starling now too. I love the market place feature that they also have on their app and u check it regularly for new offers. If you want a straight forward bank account that you can set up in the comfort of your home without having to then go into the bank to clarify your account with identification and so on, then starling is the best bank to go with.

Fantastic app, very easy to use compared to others I've had.. So simple to pay money/cheques into the account. One of the best accounts to use outside the UK. It does everything a bank should without making you jump through hoops to access your own money. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

The best banking decision I ever made

I love Starling. From the moment I received my new card everything has been so positive. My husband pays me weekly from our main account and I save in individual spaces for all of our main budget categories. This has given me so much control and visibility of where we are spending. I spend less, stay within budget and have some money left over. Whenever I have had questions the starling team have been super responsive. Well done! Reviewed on: 1st April 2023
