A great bank

5
Having switched over due to poor service at other banks, Starling is a breath of fresh air in how everything just works. I'd love if they could support charity accounts though. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Best online banking app I've used

5
I've been with Starling since Nov 2021 its the first time I've ever used a purely online bank before. I'm so impressed I won't be going bank to a high street bank anytime soon. The initial sign up was easy, extremely efficient. I love the colourful debit card, I love the fact my name appears without having to be a Mrs, Miss or Ms. I like the way Starling breaks down my spending so I can see where I can make changes or where I'm prehaps over spending. I like being able to see in advance which of my regular payments are due so I can ensure I have the funds necessary. I can't tell you how impressed I am. Quite simple brilliant Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Fab-u-lous

5
I transferred all my banking over to Starling when M and S decided they weren't making enough cash out of their bank. A smooth process to open the account and transfer my DDs, SO and everything else was a doddle. Best bank by far! Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Would definitely recommend.

Really useful for keeping on top of my spending. I like the alerts to my phone whenever I make a transaction. Great for travelling. I love that there are no transaction charges for paying in Euros. To be honest that was my main reason for switching accounts but I have found the whole package to be great for my needs. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022
