Frictionless

Everything is so easy with starling. The app is very clear and easy to use. Whenever you run into an issue you can reach out and text a starling employee that will directly help you with your query. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Compared with my previous bank this is so easy to set up and then move money & see where money is for tracking. I would highly recommend and have done to all my family and friends Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Stress Free Banking

5
Starling was the best switch I ever made. Not once have I had to call or contact them as everything is right there in the app. I even take my card abroad without a single worry as I already know it won't be a problem. Easiest banking service to work with and 100% recommend. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Starling offers the most intuitive, modern features. I like that everything is really easy to use and all done from your phone. Looking forward to see what new cool features Starling will bring. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Great bank, app easy to use!

Great experience since the start, always innovating and improving the user experience! Compared to other banks, the sustainable investing is also very important part of the package. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Easy, safe banking!

5
I'm not the best with organising or arranging anything. I never pop into the bank in town. I was apprehensive about having an online bank account but now that i've had my Starling account for the last six months i'd say it couldn't be easier! They've really put my mind at rest and to be honest, it's made my life just a little bit easier! Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

There is no better bank

5
Great customer service, simple and easy to use app and no fees when using the card abroad. Straightforward, honest current account which is exactly what you want! Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Fantastic bank

5
Absolutely great bank, blows the old men of the game out of the water! Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Helped me get on top of my finances

5
I love the 'spaces' section of the app. It has helped me to get on top of my finances and save for my upcoming wedding, as well as other bills along the way. I recommend Starling to everyone and it is genuinely the best banking app I have ever used. I was also astonished at how fast it was to create a joint account with my partner who also has a Starling account. The whole process took less than 5 minutes! A fantastic company and an ethical brand. Love them. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022
