Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Simply the Best Banking Experience there is

5
I have had a Current Account with Starling Bank since late 2018, after it was suggested to me by a friend. I nervously took the jump, after having a most disappointing experience with my previous bank, whom I'd been with since 1998. I have not looked back since. They have far exceeded my expectations, as to how much easier having online only Banking could be, over high Street Banking. I would never leave them now, bar something truly awful happening. They have my unswerving loyalty now, as I just cannot fault the stress free experience enough. It's just an absolute joy to use Starling, and to also feel a part of. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Very Easy Internet banking

Starling has helped me to keep within my budget especially in these difficult times. The app is so easy to navigate. The bill manager is so simple but takes the headache out of paying all the bills on time. I'm 78 yrs old so not a fully qualified computer techie. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

The best service

Easy to use and updates as soon as you use your card. I have had to contact them on 2 occasions which was easy and they were very helpful. Also no charge when using in other countries. A real benefit when travelling. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023
