Starling gave me incredibly easy access to a joint account, which allows my fiancé and me to manage our money together so easily! Every time I need help it’s a tap away! Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Great app, top customer service Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Easiest way of banking I have used....

5
I originally started using Starling after looking at an account to use whilst on holiday to Canada for a couple of weeks and wanted to go about my life and payments easily and not carry around loads of CAD or have too many FX fees. Using the card abroad was super easy, the info given was great and I was very happy - then after a few months back home using my normal bank, I decided to switch it all over. Change all my DDs and use starling moving forward. I personally have never had an issue, it is easy to set up payments and also track your spending as well as creating pots for savings as you need to! I love it and will not be going back to a standard high street bank! Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Cannot fault them

Few years been with Starling now and I simple cannot fault them. The app is perfect, the security is tight even to the fact that send own money to different accounts a get caution messages! Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

So much easier to use. Love the app and the notifications just wish there was more human interaction. Used the chat facility to ask a question who says they’d refer it and I’d get a message but still have haven’t heard back. Reviewed on: 25th January 2023
