All you really need from your bank

Few years back now I moved to Starling from a traditional bank provider. I could not have been happier. the fact I can see where all my spend categorised allowed me to have a better grasp on my cashflow. Sending international payments isn't a headache either and can be setup literally within 5mins. I no longer worry about monthly statements or payment confirmation. The app keeps me up to date on all incomings and outgoings and their online customer service team has always been super responsive. I already forgot how long it used to take me to call my traditonal bank provider with a request for a replacement card etc. I could not be happoer to be your customer. If only intrest rates could be a bit more customer friendly eh? ;) 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
