Banking without the noise

Straightforward banking as it should be Reviewed on: 1st April 2022

I've recommended Starling to my sons and they in turn have to their friends.

It's just so simple to use. I have other accounts with various banks, they've all crashed at some point. It's then difficult to get through to a person to discuss issues. Never happened with starling. I can't comment on their customers services, as I've never had to call them. That is the way it should be. Reviewed on: 1st April 2022

Wish banking like this had been available years ago, Reviewed on: 1st April 2022

Poor Customer Service

1
Absolutely the worst experience. Customer support is ineffectual and slow to respond, constant transaction verification checks, glitchy app issues and the first card they sent me had to be binned as they neglected to include the account number. Have now switched my daily banking to another bank but keep Starling for paying in cheques. That is really all Starling are useful for. Surprised they're even in contention for this award. Reviewed on: 1st April 2022

Great customer service
