Excellent service

Great app

To be able to open a euro account as well as a sterling one is brilliant it has saved me a fortune in exchange rates on my holiday money Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Best Bank I have ever experienced

5
I was someone who was anti online banking but Starling Bank has completely changed my mind. Starling Bank is banking made simple and enjoyable. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Excellent all round service

5
I've had my account for over two years, and think this is the best account I've ever had. I love the flexibity and control I have over saving, paying bills, paying cheques in (take a photo via the app, send it and the money is in your account within two days - great), and that I can control the max level of contact less payments (reduced to £40, although it could now be £100 if I wanted). The app is so easy to use, and the service behind it, if you need help, is always excellent. Thoroughly recommended. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Really useful banking

5
Finally real time banking! Transactions as they happen, up to date. Removes the guesswork, do I have money left or not? Details always available. Savings spaces for different targets. Upcoming bill information. Proper banking for ordinary people Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Efficient, effective, easy

So simple and extremely well structured banking with many a hidden delight along the way Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Simply the Best Smart Banking

5
Sterling Bank is simply the best for online banking! Setting up my account using the app was so easy and I can do everything I need to do, from checking my balance, paying money out and even using a designated ‘spaces’ to safe for the things I really want. I absolutely love Starling Bank! Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Fantastic Bank

5
Forward thinking in their approach to modern day banking requirements. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

On line banking

5
The on line banking app is so easy to understand and operate. It was also very easy to open the a/c, quick and straightforward. Very happy with the service. When I had a question, I just messaged a customer service advisor and I received a very quick, clear and concise response. Been recommending this bank to everyone! Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Right on the money
