Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

BEST BANK EVER !!!!

5
Finally a bank that gets EVERYTHING right. They seem to have taken all the good bits from other bank and created the ultimate bank. I have already converted many of my friends. Banks shouldn't be worried about Crypto currently they should be worried about Starling Bank. Keep up the GREAT work. Reviewed on: 11th April 2022

Great service and great app

Starting off 2022 I wanted to have more data on how and where my money was being spent. My legacy bank did not offer this natively. Starling has helped me manage my money which is great especially with the current economic environment. Reviewed on: 11th April 2022

A proper Modern Bank

5
I've been a Natwest customer for over 20 yrs and can honestly say that Starling bank have over taken them in terms of modern banking and their application. Transactions leaving my account instantly, alerts when payments are made or money received etc in real time is something that traditional banks are miles behind. Not had a single issue with them and their service or what they promise is always delivered exactly how its meant to. Reviewed on: 11th April 2022

easy open online, customer service is wonderful

Easy to use, easy to operate, very careful in information security, highly recommended for everybody. Reviewed on: 11th April 2022
