Wow, what can I say other than Starling are fab! From quick account set-up to their user-friendly app, I'm very impressed. I can manage my money easily whenever and wherever I want. Notifications are sent instantly after any transaction so can keep up-to-date on spending/money received. Love that no fees to use abroad either and get the best up-to-date rate too. The only thing that would make them better was if they gave me free money!!! Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Starling were highly recommended to me boy a friend whose opinion I trust,. I had some trepidation about moving to a bank with no physical presence on the high street but I needn't have worried,. The Starling banking app gives me complete control of my finances in a way no other bank has matched. Their service is impeccable and I couldn't recommend Starling highly enough.

The change

5
After being let down time after time before covid 19 ever entered out lives by my bank of over 20 years. The complete close down of almost all banking facilities and lack of communication throughout was the last straw. Starling is everything I want and more, no fuss no lies, no unwanted dozens of letters of loans you don't need and more importantly in this day and age.....cyber security unparalleled Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Simply the best

High Street Banks are following your steps closing down branches while still missing the point. None can figure out your strategy which is your strength - putting your customers first to help them succeed. Starling Bank is simply the best. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
