Excellent banking experience ever

5
The Spaces are a fantastic feature and enables simple virtual allocation of funds of a single balance. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Modern app based banking

Changed from First Direct after reading about bank and it’s founder. I’ve banked with NatWest, HSBC, RBS, Coop, FD and now starling because as I’ve got older and wiser I’ve expected internet security, functional applications, swift access to help if required, the add ons of use of card abroad icing on the cake. All banks should be like Starling. I know they’re not Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Easy to set up account and mange on day to day basis. The function of 'spaces' to set a goal and encourage saving is brilliant. Feel totally in control of my finances. Can't fault them A+++ Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

I love the saving pots which have really helped me to budget effectively and not overspend. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Best on the market

5
I had to move bank accounts last year as my current account provider was ceasing their services. After reviewing what was available, I settled on Starling and I’ve not been disappointed since. The App is easy to use and has great functionality. The security features are innovative and not onerous to use. Overall I’m extremely satisfied with their service and happy with my choice for a new bank account. I don’t love filming videos when I forget my password - even if it is a great security feature - but that makes me put more effort into remembering it now! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Awesomeness

Really helpful knowledgeable people.

When I had a problem with my address that wasn’t easy to solve, the customer service advisors were very helpful. Nice to know you can just pick up the phone and speak to a real person. I feel confident banking with Starling. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
