Excellent

After losing my business due to covid, I am left with considerable debt. With now having zero in my credit history I was ashamed, felt vulnerable to be left with no accounts. However, after some research I decided to join Starling, and have always enjoyed using the app, the support team over the phone are always friendly and supportive. I feel relieved to know I can continue banking and the means to pay my bill, shopping.......living. Honestly Starling is an excellent bank for the people. Thank you Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Excellent banking

Starling is so efficient and quick to respond. I left my imy previous bank HBOS due to poor customer service. I am so pleased I moved. I feel valued as a customer with Starling. It reminds me of an American bank with such good customer service. Their security is so reassuring. They do not over communicate but are there if needed 24 hours a day. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

At last, a bank that actually cares.

I’ve held a bank account that I’ve managed myself since I’ve been about 12 years old. Over 30 years. This is the first bank that I can honestly say cares about their customers. It’s been so simple running my account and someone is always there to answer my queries and respond. Everything is easy to understand. I cannot recommend Starling enough and always feel as if I’m a part of a very special club when I see the turquoise card in a stranger’s hand!! Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
