Starling was recommended to me. I have had my account now, for quite a while. One word Summary Outstanding!! Weird at first having no building to go to, nonetheless one of the best Customer Service online I have ever used. I do miss face to face as quite chatty to be fair, but I cannot fault Starling. Thanks Nikki Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Great app and amazing customer service

5
The app is fantastic; easy to use, intuitive, good to look at and the ‘spaces’ idea is amazing. On the few times I have needed to speak with customer service, they have been quick to answer, friendly and really helpful. The fact I can use any post office to put cash in the back is great and I am looking forward to benefiting from the travel benefits of Starling this summer. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Customer-focused

My old bank - one of the biggest High St “fixtures” - didn’t care about me or its other ordinary customers , and it’s International Trading was anything but ‘ethical’. Starling , established by a (Welsh) woman provides me with a friendly, efficient service, with a very ‘user-friendly Internet ‘interface’ that makes keeping tabs on my money - and spending - quite pleasant. And the lack of High St branches is surprisingly - a non-issue. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Best decision
