Best ever bank

5
I can confirm that Starling bank is one of the best banks I have dealt with. The easy access and immediate reaction on every use are brilliant, the app on my phone is so easy and clear to use, and I understand everything in it so softly. Reviewed on: 11th April 2022

The way forward in personal banking

Cannot fault, online banking the way to go. Starling have a ‘human’ feel even though all automated Reviewed on: 11th April 2022

life-changing

5
so easy to use - using with my previous bank felt like I was constantly walking uphill through mud. Starling have made everything so easy to use - finally feel like I'm living in the 21st century! They have made saving easier, and the online features are so incredibly up-to-date I'm able to settle debts with my friends in the blink of an eye. I even managed to scan some cheques from HMRC after I was over taxed with just my phone whereas my previous bank I was never able to work out how to deposit them. Could not recommend them to anyone more - totally life-changing. I feel more present in my life and more on to of my finances than ever before. Reviewed on: 11th April 2022

Starling: Bank Of The Free

5
As a person, I do not like being charged to withdraw or transfer my money. Like why should I pay to get my money? I’d have otherwise left it at home yeah? Then I found Starling Bank, with zero transfer, and withdrawal fees, up to £100 contactless payments, easy-to-use interface and excellent customer service. I’d surely recommend Starling to anyone looking to be in charge of their finances. Starling, to the stars and beyond. Reviewed on: 11th April 2022

Amazing bank so easy to use gives you do much more. Reviewed on: 11th April 2022

Starling Current Account Excellence

5
The Starling current account is what every customer needs, it ingeniously gives you the freedom to manage your money, providing you with security, outstanding graphic visual.cues and instant notifications, and other excellent new features like a joint euro account making it easy to use it overseas and saving spaces where you can structure your spending and savings. It is probably missing very few needed features to make this account irreplaceable and eliminate all competitors such as personalised credit score info, ability to manage card subscriptions and easier cash deposit access. But all in all, the bank is fantastic, with amazing chat support and unparalleled service provision. Reviewed on: 11th April 2022
