Easy, straightforward and friendly to deal with and love the app, I wish my other banks were more like Starling Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Never like internet banking...until now

From looking at Starling Bank to opening an account, to the switching to today has been easy , informative and simple to use. If you do not wish to use your mobile phone, it is amazing and quick and easy to log in on the computer. Great customer service and you are notified about everything along the way.

Excellent bank!

I signed up to Starling just to use as a personal account away from my main account to keep certain incomes separate. Starling works perfectly! I love that I get notifications saying I've spent £x amount at y place. Or that so and so has paid £x. It's mildly annoying sometimes but really useful! Especially with the direct debits coming out. Security is amazing! I had to change my pw a little while go, and although it was a little bit frustrating, from my end - I really appreciate the way it's done to protect my finances. And to be fair, it was pretty easy! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

GBP and Euro account majic

5
I have a second home in France and lost many hours researching and comparing the best way to manage large transactions and everyday transactions. I reached Starling and couldn’t believe it would be as easy and cost effective as it said. It was as - and more. It is truly magical how I can switch between the two with the same card and fully understand each transaction costs. Nothing is hidden. Has made life so so much easier not having to think or worry about basic daily activities Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Excellent ethical bank

5
Extremely happy to bank with this ethical bank. The current account switch was a breeze and the app is very user friendly with ever more useful features being added. I especially like the saving spaces which enable me to budget much more effectively and pay bills directly from my allocated funds within the current account. I chose this bank primarily because of its ethical stance and being a female led company is also a positive in my eyes. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
