I have banking with starling for a few years and it is absolutely the best. No need subscription to access better service and great app. Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Travel and saving spaces

Good from the start

Ever since I started using starling back it’s all been good easy to use and simple would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Miles apart from the norm.

5
I opened my current account because I was travelling to Ireland every weekend to visit my partner. Starling offered me exactly what I was looking for. Dual currency banking that made it so easy and cheap to bank in both GBP and Euros. Plus I learn how to save using the Spaces function. I've never looked back. Banking with Starling is easy, on line and safe. I've also had unbelievable customer service when I've had cause to contact them directly about a fraud matter. Couldn't be happier (and slightly richer) thanks to Starling. Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Best UK bank

Almost perfect!! If they used money to lure in customers, such as paying people to switch to them and offered very low cost loans....then would be perfect!!! Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Easy to use

5
Extremely easy to set up & even better use of the app. You can save, share. All information is easily available so if needed to share you can. Can see all accounts with the click of a button Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Banking the simple way

5
I’ve been with starling a few years now and I love the simplicity of the banking. Being in control of your own money, it’s easy to move around and make transfers. I particularly love the way that I can track my spending by category and also the use of the pots called spaces. And after all that an eco friendly bank. Thanks starling. Best banking switch I have made! Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

The Young Peoples bank

5
I couldn’t say a word badly about the bank, easy support, easy and simple interface and savings spaces that you can create endlessly for each thing. Just all you need in one bank! Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Absolutely amazing

5
Starling is the future of banking would recommend 100%. The saving pots really helps me to split my money and not overspend. It's fabulous and being able to take a picture of a cheque and have it in the bank the following day... It's so good compared to my last bank. Love it! Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Easy to use

Have been able to do everything I’ve had too and even open a euro account via the app. Their app is very intuitive and easy to use. Payments are shown straight away as well, so no wondering if your balance showing is correct. When I’ve had to contact customer services, I’ve always had a quick and helpful response. Would recommend. Reviewed on: 9th March 2023
