What a great bank

Very nice people always helpful and always on the other end of the phone. Im guaranted to have any problems dealt with efficiently with very polite manners. Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Simply Straightforward Banking.

5
As good as the day they started, and continually adding new features. Smooth and reliable with instant notification, and no need ever again to queue in a Bank. I only wish they'd get a credit card sorted out too, something that's been on the back boiler far too long. Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Great

Great and easy to use the savings tab helps me save my money Reviewed on: 29th March 2022

Easy to use and clean interface

5
With Starling Bank, I know exactly where my money is at all times and can easily and quickly transfer money when needed, with a well-formatted transaction history log I can use to check my transactions as well. The interface is easy to use and the communications are clear and not overboard. Reviewed on: 29th March 2022

Brilliant, fresh banking service

5
I'm so happy I made the switch from the old fashioned, archaic banks that have been around for years. Starling have a fresh way of doing business - with everything online, my account is so easy to use. Everything is readily accessible and so easy to manage within the app....I no longer fear going into an old, musty bank to be 'cross sold' something I don't want at the counter I particularly love Starlings saving spaces - a brilliant idea that has helped me massively as it allows me to set up pots to save into. This means that I manage my finances so much better than ever before. Direct debits, standing orders, paying in cheques, saving, transferring between accounts - it's all SO easy in the Starling App. Wish I'd moved years ago! Reviewed on: 29th March 2022
