The best bank ever

I'm very satisfied with starling bank Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

Starling Bank - everyone should be with them!

I have been with Starling for over six years and found them to be the best bank I've ever used - so much so, I moved my Business Banking over to them as well Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Professional

Professional team, transparent service, and user-friendly app! Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Fast and friendly

Starling are always quick to add a new device to your account, and it’s easy to do. one morning, a I got a notification for a transaction at a petrol station. I hadn’t left home. I called to inform them of possible fraud. Turns out the petrol station delayed submitting the transaction for a few weeks. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Starling Review

Starling is a good bank with great features. I like how easy it is to use and I am so happy to be a customer of it Reviewed on: 24th March 2025

Excellent service

Customer service is excellent and they quickly resolve issues. App is very user-friendly Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

Easy to organise and manage

Always responds quickly to questions and the interface is very intuitive. I appreciate greatly that they don't fund fossil fuels which is a big reason I switched. I love using the pots for sectioning my money per savings and bills. However, some repeating payments such as apple cannot be added to be deducted from your bills space, which can be a little inconvenient. Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

Just will not listen

When I first started with Starling, they were great. Now however, I find they treat their customers with some disdain. My experience with their feedback process ('starlingbank dot com/contact/') is if you use it, they email you back and tell you to go to the app. If you've crafted a detailed email with your feedback originally, then you are told to go to the app which is limited to 500 characters, you could come unstuck. Challenging for anyone who has communication challenges wishing to articulate feedback effectively. They also do not respond to any feedback submitted. So I officially complained, Starling upheld my complaint and agreed their web site is misleading in this regard, but five months later, no change to their website. As this is not a financial matter involving money, the FCA will not look into this. So Starling just continues to ignore and mislead its customers with regards to feedback.

The best banking experience by far

I have been using starling for the last 6 months after hearing it recommended on a podcast. I am absolutely in love with the app. It has transformed my banking experience from the highstreet bank I was with. I LOVE the spaces facility, it makes it so much easier to hit savings goals by being able to separate out your money and put a name to that space. The spending tracker is so helpful to actually see where money is going each month. Honestly, the best bank move I have ever made. Thank you starling for transforming day to day banking.

We hope you enjoy being part of the Starling family for many years to come. Team Starling Response date: 15th March 2025
