Makes budgeting easier

5
With saving spaces to allocate to monthly commitments the really help me to budget my disposable income Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

So much better than my previous bank

5
Starling bank is so easy and quick to use, much better than the clunky and frequently offline bank I used to use Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Simply outstanding

5
I have banked with HSBC for more than 50 years and their service has got worse and worse Starling is simply outstanding. Easy to access, really helpful if ever one has a query (which I almost never do as everything is so easy and clear). Their web site is really excellent. I suspect the big banks will have to focus on merchant banking and decline. Starling is the future! Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Perfect bank

Future of Banking

5
What a revelation Starling is. We originally moved to First Direct when telephone banking was in its infancy - we then moved after 20 years to Starling - what a different experience. Simple, immediate and free. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023
