Brilliant app bank

5
Love Starling and it's ease of using it via the app. Excellent customer service and no glitches at all! Reviewed on: 17th February 2023

Bank account that does everything it needs without fuss

5
Been a Starling customer for years now and never had any problems, the app based banking is great, they have good safeguards in place when making big transactions and the savings space/bills manager feature is really neat - something that other banks don't have. Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Great bank

5
I love how you can make saving spaces and have my bills come out of a separate dedicated savings space Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

I love the spaces feature!

5
The spaces are my favourite bit as I can better have an idea of how much I can work around. The automated saving round up feature (that I can personalize by how much it's multiplied by) also helps me build up some extra savings. Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Personal banking

Move from a high street bank to starling just over 1 year ago. Brilliant service quick simple and helps me really understanding my spending. From a challenger bank I am over the moon to give them the highest rating Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Modern way to do banking

5
Best current account I have had with a great app that I can do everything through. Customer service is fast and great if you need it. Amazing product that just gets better. Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Easy access bank account

4
Within minutes of starting the application for a current account and a few security steps I was accepted approved. It was so fast and not tedious like other banks. I opened a Starling account through recommendation from my partner so we could open a joint account as my normal and main bank account isnt accepting Joint account applications and hasnt been for the longest time so rather than continue waiting, I thought it is better to jump ship to a company that will allow me to manage my solo finances along with my joint finances. I think only 2 days pass and I had the card in my hands ready to use. The joint account(and current account) keep being updated with new features and recently added payments from savings spaces which is so easy to manage and use Reviewed on: 16th February 2023
