How banking should be in 2022!

I love banking with Starling. It’s safe, app based, coherent, clever, easy to use and flexible. Very impressed and I enjoy banking with them as I did with CO-Op smile when they set up in 2000 but I don’t anymore. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Excellent app, with great customer service

Simple and effective

5
I've been with Starling Bank for about 3 years now and never had any problems. It's so good to have instant information at your fingertips. Moved from first direct who I'd been with for over 15 years so Starling must have dome something to make me want to fully switch. Never looked back. I have everything I need in an amazing app, and the support is great. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

No drawbacks

All the benefits of big banks, none of the drawbacks - and some unique benefits too. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

The best

I first joined Starling for the great fee free withdrawals while overseas and soon realised that the current account is the best in the market - app does everything you want and more, keeping track of all of your spending and saving. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Easy and accessible bank

5
Switched from another bank due to fraudulent issues and haven't had a single issue since, every single transaction is accessible, I can see when every payment is due in and out of my account and everything is extremely easy to use Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

A breath of fresh air!

5
Being able to do absolutely everything myself in an app is so refreshing. No longer having to call a call centre or visit a branch to do something as simple as change address or email address is fantastic! Reviewed on: 4th April 2022
