Makes life easy

5
The app makes life easy. Instantly updated. Upload cheques via the app. Good rates when travelling. What's not to like? Reviewed on: 6th February 2023

Easy to use

4
Really easy to use and has some great functionalities but wish it had the same collaborative options as Monzo does where you can request payments, split bills etc. Reviewed on: 6th February 2023

Top bank with top tech!

5
Starling has amazing customer service. They're available 24/7 and easily reached through the app. Additionally, unlike many other banks, they have the best balance between keeping my account and payments secure vs having security features which are too cumbersome or impractical to use.

Best Current Account I've Had

I was keen for an app based current account and without any cash incentives to switch I decided to go for Starling and haven't looked back. So user friendly and a perfect way to manage a joint account. Reviewed on: 5th February 2023

Just the best

5
After 37 years with an old school bank with complicated services and app I made the switch to Starling. Spending is categorised automatically but I can customise it and now I can finally plan our family bills and saving pots with Spaces. Now I find out I can use it as a debit card worldwide with no fees incurred! Just brilliant Reviewed on: 5th February 2023

Great app and easy to see money movements
