Account frozen without warning

I’ve had ongoing issues with Starling Bank. Getting a human in chat took days of bot loops. They asked for the same documents three times. Expected better.

Switched and never looked back

I’ve banked with Starling Bank for over a year now. Account opening was fully digital and took minutes. Free ATM withdrawals abroad saved me a fortune. Couldn’t be happier. Setup took less than ten minutes.

Mostly fine

I use Starling Bank for a few specific things. Most features are great, a few are region-locked. It does the basics well but lacks a couple of features I want. Solid but not perfect. Friend recommended it to me.

Excellent service

My whole family is on Starling Bank now. The app is fast, clean and never crashes for me. Card arrived quickly and Apple Pay set up instantly. No regrets switching.

Genuinely modern banking

Moved from a high-street bank to Starling Bank. Real-time notifications on every transaction are brilliant. No regrets switching.

Works, but pricey

I’ve had Starling Bank for a little while now. Most features are great, a few are region-locked. App is occasionally slow to load balances. Solid but not perfect. Switched from a traditional provider.

Best banking app I’ve used

I’ve recommended Starling Bank to people I know. Real-time notifications on every transaction are brilliant. Instant transfers between users are a game changer. Exactly what I needed. Been a customer for a couple of years.

Mostly fine

I’ve used Starling Bank for a while now. The core experience is good but phone support is missing. Fine for now. Used across two countries so far.
