I love Starling they are the best. I changed 3 tears ago from a high street bank. I always know when transactions take place. There are lots of handy tips for saving and I feel in control of my finances. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

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

I find the app, and the savings spaces facility so easy to operate. Never been so well informed or so in charge of my own pension and savings accounts. Love the facility. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
