No waiting, no excuses, simple easy banking, they show the others how it should be done. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2023

Excellent app based banking

I've been a starling customer for a few years now. Having been with Santander and First Direct previously. The app experience with Starling has been second to none and I see more mainstream banks mirroring what I have experienced with Starling. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Fantastic account for everyone

5
Fantastic account for everyone. Simply to use in UK, specifically abroad, no any charges applied when spending on holiday. Easy to use application simply and smart. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Easiest to use

5
Starling are how banks should be, simple and straightforward. Easy to use app. Quick customer service. Everything I’ve used with them has been brilliant. The old banks need to take note, this is how it’s done. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Really great and up to date banking

5
As I had been with TSB for over 35 years it refreshing to move to another bank. Loyalty means nothing in the modern world. Since the move it’s been great just wish I did it years back. Would recommend and seamless swap over. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
