3 years and counting

I have had an account with starling for 3 years, I thoroughly enjoy how easy the app is to use. I have had a couple of issues when sending money internationally and so has mu partner, mainly lack of communication when they are reviewing the payment. One payment took over 10days so we cancelled and used revolt which took 8hrs to send money internationally to my account in another country. Apart from these issues I highly rate starling and always promote mu friends and family to sign up and use. 4.5 out of 5 from me. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Easy, convenient banking

I love Starling. The app is so user friendly yet gives you confidence that they take security very seriously. Great to have both of things - other banks make security an excuse for a poor user experience. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Simplicity itself

Easiest bank ever used, simple set up, top range of products and the odd time needed customer service excelled. I was a bank hopping switcher but stayed with Starling as suits my needs here & abroad. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Excellent Service

I would like to recommend Starling for this award . In the two years which I have banked them , I have found them to be a bank of integrity who have embraced the very best in technology , in that their banking app is far superior to their competitors. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
