The best UK bank

5
I have had about a year's worth of experience with Starling Bank so far and I have had only great experiences with them compared to other banks, their customer service is very had to beat, quick to respond and give detailed answers and solutions that can solve any issue or question you may have. The app itself although lacking some features they are very well thought out and work extremely well, for example the virtual cards feature for budgeting, bills manager and the spending chart for an overview of your finances. Have I mentioned the card yet? The physical card you get through the post is extremely beautiful, a light teal green with only the word starling bank on the front, every time I'm out in public I proudly hold out the card as if I'm someone who just got an American express platinum card. Overall I give this company and it's great app a well deserved 10/10 Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

Simple and helpful

5
Being with Starling Bank is so easy; all app based and simple to use. Love the idea of separate pots eg for holiday savings, which is hidden from sight yet counts towards the whole account for interest purposes. Love it Reviewed on: 23rd January 2023

Best (British) bank

5
Best current account, best app, best API, best customer support - used them for years, used a lot of others on and off in between to find the perfect set up and always come back to starling - can't recommend them enough (especially now with virtual cards on pots, perfect for budgeting!) Reviewed on: 22nd January 2023
