Review of Starling


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Average bank, but terrible customer services

I recently switched away from Starling. The reasons why are that the app was good, but I always struggled with the navigation on it. It didn't flow as well as it could.
Mainly, however, I left because I found the customer services less than friendly, they came across as cold when I dealt with an issue with a Direct Debit being set up. I got the impression that the person dealing with the issue was almost trying to be awkward since they refused to talk to the organisation trying to set up the mandate, and I had to do it myself. It left a bitter taste with me, and as such decided to leave.

In short, good bank, let down by the app navigation and customer services.

Hi Andy,
We're sorry to hear about your experience.
Our customer service team are always there to help with any issue you may have. We're not able to speak to the company setting up your direct debit as they're a third party and we wouldn't speak to a third party about your account and direct debit.
We'll raise feedback about our app navigation for you.
Team Starling
