Starling has helped me to beat the unexpected overdrawn debt and account fines cycle that, i've always experienced with other banks. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Life saving

5
As a recovering compulsive gambler who previously had no regard for money, Starlings features have no doubt helped me regain control of my finances. The gambling block together with the wallets have helped me structure a system that works for me and keeps me on the straight and narrow. Every month I send money to different wallets to keep me organised instead of passing all my wages on to the bookmaker. Can’t thank Starling enough for accepting me when I hit rock bottom. When I say ‘life saving’ it truly was. Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

When I opened this account it was mainly to try out online banking and now I wouldn't be without it. I love how easy it is to use and I feel secure using it. Its changed the way I make purchases. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Great service and communication

I was going away on holiday and the thought of carrying all my money around with me gave me the chills, a friend suggested I get a sterling account so I could use my money through my account no fees while away, safe and secure transactions and my peace of mind. I signed up and withing days my card was here and my money transfered ! I felt so much easier while away. I now use my starling account as my everyday account. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022
