So simple and convenient

The Starling Bank app is simple to use and always there. I can access my money easily and have had no issues since Day 1. I ended up closing both my personal and joint accounts at Barclays and moved them both to Starling with no regrets. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Starling bank gets the basics right with clear communication, easy overseas use and a great app. Then adds things like spaces, automatic saving and easy bill splitting. I have no complaints. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Easy to keep a track of your money. Quick glance allows you to see where and on what you’ve spent your money. Saving spaces really helps to put money aside for whatever you’re saving for. I love using this app and managing my money better. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

You can Bank on Starling!!

5
This bank actually cares about its customers. The service is second to none, prompt, polite and professional. The app is so very clear and easy to use with features that are practical and useful, no gimmicks, no coupons off day trips or mobile phone insurance,but, help with direct debits, bill paying, savings and things that a bank should provide. I am not faced with enormous fees, or littered with ' special offers for car breakdown cover' etc. They are my Bank, I am extremely happy customer. Honestly, other banks need to look at themselves in the mirror. Starling do what they say and they do it better than any other bank I have been a customer of A Starling that flies as an eagle!!
