In a league of their own

Quite simply, Starling do everything better than anyone else. From their well designed mobile app to their amazing customer service. Their current account also has brilliant features like using ‘spaces’ to pay bills, and security options for limiting card usage. I unequivocally recommend Starling Bank.

Easy Peasy

Joined Starling last April and love how simple it is to use. All in the app, I can see what I'm spending my money on, budgeting, transfer and communicate. Excellent customer service support and when I make a transaction online, there is added security before I commit to buying. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Starling, leaving my High Street bank in the Stoneage

5
Starling is the only bank that I've been proud to be a customer of. I only wish that Starling had been around longer, it would have had a longer financial history with them. Then I would have had my final reason to leave Barclays completely, the Luddite bank who I've been with forever. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
