Here’s what people have been saying about Starling recently.
I think the greatest compliment I can give is the fact that I TRUST you enough, within a week of use, to be my main bank account with all the outgoings and incomings associated with that. So keep focused and continue innovating and delivering a great customer experience.
This is a brilliant feature by @StarlingBank. Half the terror of temp losing card is knowing there's no going back after reporting it.
Works perfectly on my Pixel. The app is slick and allows me to see all my spending easily.
An absolutely first class account switching experience. 👍 great work again, everyone at @StarlingBank
Very impressed with onboarding journey from @StarlingBank - literally sorted my bank account whilst walking to the tube - ID and all! 🙌🏼
Welcome to the future of banking, great app simple to use have everything you need from a bank account. Pay now and less than a second later your transaction is there not days later. Can only get better.
Very impressed! I have used the account for several weeks now and very impressed so far. The app is well designed and security conscious, customer service seems to be by far superior to most of the new Fintech start ups. I can see Starling replacing my current account shortly.
