No-Nonsense

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

Fantastic service

Can’t believe it took so long to get this kind of service from a bank! Where have you been, Starling! I’ve changed banks quite a few times in my lifetime, but now I have finally found one with which I’ll be sticking for a while. From the easiness of opening an account, to the amazing customer service and ease of use abroad! No unnecessary charges! Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Love the service

Had Starling account for few years, no issues. Have recommended to others before and will continue to do so. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Great service

I opened a Starling account in addition to my main bank. I was so impressed I recommended Starling to my wife and three sons.. All have opened accounts. I like the fee-free withdrawals from ATMs whilst abroad. The Spaces feature helps with budgeting. But the speed and checking of outgoing payments is very impressive Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Great app, great service

Really pleased I made the switch from my old bank. Customer service is excellent, app is great, helps me track my spending much better. Wish there was a little more interest on credit balances in ‘savings space’ though. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023
