The account uses technology in a really effective way to give the customer the information they need when they need it unlike the mainstream banks who are way behind with this. Reviewed on: 25th January 2023

Amazing Bank. Customer service is the best!

Banking with starling has been a pleasure, I have banked with them for 4 years now and it’s been hassle free. Any issues with payments etc. they are there to help and resolve within 24 hours. They are the bank of the future and can 100% say, they care for their customers unlike other banks around. They protect all customers with all their effort! Starling Bank is the bank everyone should be with. Reviewed on: 25th January 2023

Excellent bank

Love Starling ! Its really easy and informative banking Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

Smple and functional

5
It's "just" a current account, but that's something so many banks get wrong. Starling does it well, the app's not overly complicated and not obtrusive but it's there and just works when you need it. Everything to hand and easily accessed. Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

Great service, great UX

5

Best bank

5
Innovation such as spaces, the tools for control of spending and the multi currency debit card are just not available at other banks. Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

Fantastic product and support

5
Firstly, the sign-up process was great. No need to go to a physical bank, just proof of ID, proof of address and using the app to scan your face so it can biometrically verify it against your ID. Once verified, you get your card within 3-4 days (Royal Mail dependant), and activate it in the app. I have been with Starling for almost a year and I love the development it is constantly making and listening to community feedback. I'd 100% recommend them! Reviewed on: 24th January 2023
