Great Bank great service. Easy App simple to use. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

The best bank out there

5
Starling are truly leading the way when it comes to banking and i wish all banks could be more like them. Their customer service is excellent. They are forward thinking and really keep up with the digital world we now live in, where most banks don’t. From their spaces savings, transactions going through on weekends and bank holidays to account management all through their app - you don’t need to pop into a branch to verify this or that; they are truly digital first and put customers’ needs at the heart of what they do. I’ve recommended them to just about everybody I know. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Easy to Use. No pointless hassle.

So good a bank

A current account with a difference. Easily keep control of spending as Starling allocates spend categories to each transaction. You can create savings spaces to save for holidays etc. Round up where each transaction is rounded up to the next pound and this amount is put in a savings space Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
