Easy quick and efficient

Starling bank is easy to use with tutorial for less experienced user's I can also find money due to be paid in and out goings all in one place Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Basically great

Both the bank and the companion app are very good. They have great features and there's a lot of consideration and quality there. Though there are a few issues I encountered that were frustrating: 1. no option to view both of my starling accounts (personal and joint) on the home screen of the app. 2. Online chat operators not reading my reported issue. 3. Switch process to move my joint account to starling required me to create a new joint account first then switch into it, which I've never had to do before when switching. 4. After starting the switch and going through verification with my partner, tapping the switch notification (advising I needed to confirm some details) didn't take me to where I needed to go in the app, so eventually had to select option to start a new switch for the app to inform me there was already a switch in progress and continue from there. Aside from these issues, everything works beautifully. Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Well pleased

Very good bank I am going to save money with my account Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

great bank

Feel so much more in control and app is great Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Easy efficient.

I know exactly where my money is when it's going out. Starling Bank app excellent. They've got over the phone support if you need it. You can deposit money easily through post offices. Only downside is your limit to £1000 paying in cash a year before thy charge you a a percentage fee. (As we going more cashless society this isn't a problem these days.) The banking app notifies you soon as you buy something and updated immediately so you know where you are. Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Customer friendly

Excellent app backed up by prompt response to queries. A breath of fresh air! Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Best bank I ever banked with

I think starling accounts are brilliant, constantly ahead of mainstream banks in features and so easy to use and access all the time around the world ! Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Great online Banking

Recent convert from a more “traditional” bank. The switch process was smooth the app works a treat. I haven’t visited a branch for probably 10 years so online banking doesn’t pose any issues. Keep up the good work. App is uncomplicated and reliable Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

They are great!

Starling are an excellent bank. Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

How banking should be done

In these times of being unable to speak to anyone regarding issues, it's refreshing to come across an organisation that has multiple ways of getting in touch. Reviewed on: 30th March 2022
