Great Online Bank

Great bank, easy to navigate app and no overseas charges. Easy to set-up & manage account, great communication about transactions to help you keep track of your money. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

easy to use in UK and EU with the same card

Great bank and simple to use, one card will deduct from either currency minimising the transaction fee, great if you flit between EU and UK Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Easy to use.

It was simple to set up and is easy to use. It came recommended by a friend so I knew I'd feel at ease starting up. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

The very best banking experience

I found out about Starling when I was looking for a debit card to use cheaply abroad. Starling was perfect. Not just a top up card but a great bank account for use everyday. Realistic charges for overdrafts, no charges abroad. Great customer service. The app is very easy to navigate and finally the Kite cards for children. A great way of doing things. They have the freedom of a debit card but you ultimately control it. I have recommended Starling bank to so many people. It is head and shoulders above the others. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Secure straight forward banking

See your balances straight away. when money is spent due monies notified the day before it's taken from your account Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

So easy to use

The app is so easy to use and very secure. I like using my card abroad benefiting from great exchange rates. The immediate notification of a spend or purchase to my phone is another great feature. I have only requested help from customer service once, done via the app and was very efficient, well done Starling. I have recommended you friends and family. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Simply Brilliant

The app is so easy to use, I get alerted when I receive or remove money. Customer service is speedy and efficient. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Wonderful

Never any issues reviewing my account or transferring monies. Does exactly what it does in the tin and probably a lot more that I have yet to discover. Stress free banking at its finest. Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

you can get on with life without any complications from starling bank

never had any problems and they keep me informed Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Wish I had switched before

I’ve avoided banking apps and didn’t enjoy my previous current account provider’s online system. Couldn’t really switch until I had a secure smartphone but wish I’d done it sooner. The app is smooth, communications clear and helpdesk responsive. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
