Very easy to download app and to apply for card. Love the way the app promptly tells you what goes in my account and when something goes in, also love the way it is so easy to use it abroad. Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Awesome bank - how banking should be done

5
New features they launch always feel like “why has no one done this before”. Such a slick experience and they absolutely destroy the traditional banks for user experience. Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Banking as it should be

5
Clear and straightforward banking. Simple to use app with no fussy unnecessary bloat on the menu pages. Love the instant text to confirm transactions - a great security feature. With interest payable on current account balance and a Euro holding available too - fantastic! Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Really unhelpful

1
I have a really good credit rating, I’ve been banking with them for a couple of years now, and I have a business account for my consulting work with a healthy turnover. They go sniffy with me, asked questions to which they have all the answers if they bothered to look at my accounts, and did a hard credit search when I asked for an overdraft facility. I am now back to looking for a branch bank with a UK call centre Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Superb app, fabulous service

The Starling Bank App is superb. It is a first class piece of software engineering, designed with the customer at heart. Extending this on to a browser based experience with extended functionality also works exceptionally well. The customer service is fast and responsive. All in all a top quality experience.
