Always on hand!

Every time I’ve ever had a query about a payment I’ve had first class customer service. Easy and quick and it’s like chatting to a friend. Wouldn’t bank with anyone else. Oh and as someone down on their luck at the moment, I can sort out problems as I’m reminded that I don’t have money in my account to cover bills. Makes such a difference.

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
