They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 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.

Starling has been a superb bank, with all of the tools you need at your fingertips. What makes it for me is being able to use my card abroad, without worrying about additional fees. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

So helpful all ways there to help and always there on the phone to give a hand lovely people Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

So good a bank

5
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

Banking made easy AND completely stress free

I have a current account with Starling. The simplicity of setting up couldn't have been easier, if I recall correctly I did it all online within an hour, and at around 6am, WELL WELL before any High Street providers were waking up for business. Money management is excellent, the app makes a massive difference and is like like having a personal banker in my pocket (on my phone) Improvements happen too, so Starling are not standing still. I receive regular alerts and these are now available in my history, so if I miss something I can go back and review. Stress free online banking. Put simply 'It works' I have recommended it to friends and family without hesitation. I have banked with the 'leading' High Street providers in the past, their branches are closing daily. If the future of personal banking looks like this, we are in good safe hands. I am looking to open s business account in the near future and doubt my expectations will be failed. Keep up the excellent work, and thank you, I feel I have control and improved knowledge of my personal finances now, especially as s single dad. 10 out 10, without hesitation. Steve C.
