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

Ingenious modern banking

A bank for the 21st century, with convenient tools, friendly customer service and environmental credentials. Features like Settle Up are super convenient and privacy conscious, and clearly labelling transactions for greater understanding is especially helpful. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Best bank, super easy to use and always great customer service. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Easy switch and great service.

Having been with Barclays for over 30 I recently became frustrated with their closing of branches and 100% worst telephone banking system. I made a test call one day to starling's account line and was speaking with someone within 30 seconds. It was an easy decision to switch from there. Starling made my account switch super easy, and it completed writing about a week. I didn't have to do anything. Since then the phone app and desktop browser interface have been so easy to use. I also love how easy it was too get my debit card working for payments on my phone when the Barclays card never worked. Great job, Starling! Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

I love the Starling current account - everything about it is no fuss, and it’s never difficult to do what you want it to do. I really like the savings spaces - I’ve got a few set up that allow me to budget for fun things like clothes, haircut, holidays and fancy meals out. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Has everything that I need and nothing that I dont
