A bank that makes your life easier! Instead of making you cry.

I am obsessed with Starling. It's modern, intuitive – you don't have to adjust to the app, it adjusts to you. It's simple yet has all the functionalities you could want. No fees on foreign transactions! No hidden costs. You can add money to lots of saving spaces without any fuss – so when you need a little extra money, you can see exactly what you're taking it out from. This has helped me curbed a lot of unnecessary spending as I'm not about to sacrifice my trip to Italy for yet another shirt I won't wear. Also, I never shut up about this bank. Who gets excited about a bank?? Everyone who banks with Starling. Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Best bank this country has

Starling stand out from the crowd. The way they have designed their bank makes it so easy to use. The costs are far less than any high street bank who are more interested in taking your money than helping you keep some in there, especially in this climate. Hats off to them and keep up the good work Starling. Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Great innovative and reliable bank!

I have been with starling a few years now and it continues to impress me. From its investment practices to its development of new features, I stand (as someone who has tried over 10 different banks) to say that starling is by far the best to date. I am constantly impressed by the new features added, and have made use of almost all of them, (aside from their marketplace feature) making managing and general administration when it comes to personal finance, much easier. The only downside, abs the reason I cannot recommend to more people is that a lot of the older generation still use cash, and the maximum of 10 free deposits per year is a true limitation. The post office as a drop off is a convenience though! Try starling, it’s great :) Reviewed on: 30th March 2022
