Faultless

Yet to think of a way it could be better. Caters to all of my needs and helps me to reach my financial goals. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

A revelation in what banking can be

5
After decades of frustration with the online offering of HSBC, switching to Starling was a revelation. I can’t believe how easy, yet secure everything is. Really love the ‘spaces’ function and the ability to send an easy payment link to friends. Thanks Starling Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

First class.

Fast, easy to use, informative, everything I need is right there and I don't have to waste time and money going into a branch. I'm also not paying into big oil which is a plus! Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Easy to use.

I’ve recommended Starling Current Account to friends and family some of which have gone on to open an account. It’s easy to use, they are quick to answer any questions, they make useful improvements and updates and keep you well informed. And it’s founded by a woman. Great stuff. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Best bank

I had been with TSB for about 40 years, recently my account was constantly hacked, I couldn't set up Internet banking no matter what I did. Joined Starling after my daughter advised me & had absolutely no problems since. Superb & would recommend to everyone. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Great online bank

To be honest I was wary of just an online bank then I realised most banks do Not have a high street presence now anyway! This bank answer me queries ( yes if I call them) and are so professional. I love the helpful way the layout of the app is done - it’s clear what you spend and why- I actually love this bank! Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
