I've never had such a good experience with a mobile app before. I've been using Starling for about 3 years now and the app works seamlessly and you can do everything you need to through; which is probably why their customer service team respond so quickly when you start a chat. The gold standard for banking. Reviewed on: 20th February 2026

Reply from Starling Bank Hi there, Wow, “the gold standard” has absolutely made our day! We’re so pleased the app’s been working seamlessly for you over the past three years. Making things simple to manage in-app (and being quick to respond when you need us) is exactly what we aim for, so this is brilliant to read. Thanks for such a lovely review.

Fantastic Experience

So easy to set up a new account and they take over and transfer all DD's and SO's from old bank to them. Really easy to use and navigate website and mobile site, easy to set up and transfer monies, lovely the spaces section and setting up a savings account was just simple. Reviewed on: 19th February 2026

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Mark, This is so lovely to read, thank you! Switching should feel smooth and stress-free, so we’re thrilled it was that easy for you. From moving your direct debits and standing orders to setting up Spaces and savings, it’s great to hear everything’s been simple to manage. That’s exactly how banking should feel!

Starling impressed me with its use of technology

Starling impressed me with its use of technology that made signing up easy and the everyday banking has been simple and secure. The only downside is the slow pace of development for easy savings tools and products that are already in market from various third parties. Reviewed on: 24th January 2026

Tech savvy favourite

I like the origin story of Starling and it feels like a modern bank vs all the old school Goliath’s. It’s very tech savvy which means the app is super intuitive with regular helpful updates. One of my favourite features is ‘spaces’ where I can set different saving pots. They’re not just saving pots. They suggest clever ways to do it like per transaction saving or monthly. The whole UX has made me more interested in my banking. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026
