Brilliant customer service. Always quick and very progestin sorting anything out or explaining financial stuff in plain English. The app keeps getting better and I always feel my money is safe with Starling at my back. Best banking experience of my lifetime by far. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Banking made easy

I recently moved to starling after my old bank closed all current accounts and it could not have been easier. The app is straightforward you can see all your comings and goings and exactly where you pennies are going. I like the fact I can easily tell how much I’ve spent on food, bills etc. if anything it’s helps me to rein in my spending when you realise just how much you’ve spent on food over the month. I recently recommended my mum move to starling and they planted a tree for us and my mum, who is 70 this year and never had anything to do with online banking, is absolutely smashing it using all the features and even managed to set up a billings account on her own. That really confirms to me that starling is the only bank for me and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
