Hassle free banking

Starling was recommended to me and i now know why as its so easy and hassle free to use. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Starling, Simply the Best!

5
Account very easy to set up initially…very easy to use….easy to transfer money….like the alerts when you make a transaction…..has helped me to manage my money much better resulting in no requirement for an overdraft. Much more effective way of managing my finances than the standard high street banks. A very intuitive app. Well done Starling, you’ve really demonstrated how an app can work well for the consumer by clearly understanding the needs of the consumer Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Exactly how a bank should be

5
Only opened my account by accident, was looking for information on international banking and if an internet bank would be easier in order to talk to someone I had to register and 10 mins later I had opened an account i at least could phone them. An actual person answered my phone call and answered my question straight away the call didn’t last more than 5 minutes. 2 days later I received my debit card so impressed by there efficiency I decided to start using it and up to date I have no complaints Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Female positive

5
happy to bank with a female based company Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Only good experiences.

5
My wife’s debit card was stolen when we were on holiday in Rome. What could have been a terrible worry and a disaster was instead a minor inconvenience after one phone call to a member of Starling staff. Similarly when I discovered a unauthorised transaction on my account it was dealt with very quickly and a new card issued within a few days. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Best Move i made
