Brilliant customer service, easy use app

5
Used Starling for a few years now and was the best thing i done. Amazing customer service and the app is very good Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Best bank ever!

5
I am a technology adverse person and previously enjoyed going into my local bank where I would have a chat with known bank tellers. The transfer to this style of banking was initially a big culture shock however Starling has changed me ! They walked me through the steps of accessing different applications with patience without being condescending. This bank is absolutely brilliant, I have got my 2 daughters on board and love the service offered. Best thing I have ever done :-) Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

All the bank you'll ever need

5
I had an issue with fraudulent payment which i questioned via the app. Through about 15 mins of chat with an agent within the app it was resolved, i was refunded and the issue completely resolved. Brilliant customer service. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Excellent bank

Excellent bank, very easy to use helps to keep an eye on all your banking. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Great Experience All Round

5
The saving spaces are really helpful as well as the round up feature. No charges for using the card abroad, love the new ideas such as the virtual cards that are coming through or being able to pull a Direct Debit through directly form a space. Cannot recommend enough.

Wish Starling had existed decades ago

5
I have so much more control over my finances through my Starling bank account than I ever had with old banks. I'd be a great deal richer now if Starling had been around longer. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Just brilliant!

5
A bank that is definitely ahead of the game and showing the others how it should be done. Great to be part of an organisation serious about environmental impact and even have a fully developed net zero plan and trajectory… which is great! Starling continually introduce new features that enhance customers ability to manage their own finances. Customer care and great communication is key and Startling provide that in bucket-fills! Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

It's been three amazing years!

5
Having Starling has changed my approach to finances and saving. With the pots and the monthly breakdown I can easily see where my money is going each month, so thank you! Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Brilliant!
