“Used to love Starling, used for 5 years but clearly they don’t care anymore. Gave 21000£ of my business money to the government AFTER my company was restored. We missed the confirmation statement date, accounts were frozen only by starling, company was restored and then AFTER starling sent the money to the government and won’t respond on chat,, saying we will get back to you in 15 days!? Literal theft the company was active. Many better options available.”
“They will at some point freeze your account be warned! They will say it’s an account review and go completely silent and then close your account. They will completely leave you helpless Be warned”

They assisted me in obtaining my investment back, Contact details:: WhatsApp:: +1 __660__233__3165.”
“I invested a total of $743k on a binary option platform after several weeks i tried to make some withdrawals to my bank but the withdrawal wasn’t successful, i quickly contact the platform costumer care via email and phone number they provided in their contact info but didn’t get a response from them that was when everything started looking weird. A few weeks later I got a mail from them requesting that i should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which i rejected, and I never heard from them again that was when I knew I’m about being screwed. i was really devastated at those moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. After some months I came across a lot of testimonies on the web on how Lisa Elizabeth had helped many people recovered their stolen, scammed or duped money on bitcoin or any other form in digital currency. I contacted them and they promised to help me get my money back asked me some info about the company i invested with which I provided.

“Frozen account because customer disputed a payment from 3 years ago. Banks now interfering in commercial disputes and acting against their customers. If you think this is OK, Starling is the bank for you.”
“This website convinced me to deposit money, but once I did, I discovered that I couldn't take it out and I wasn't getting any answer to my mails. I lost £48,400 to this dishonest firm. In order to recover my investment and profit back in a matter of days, it was suggested that I get in contact with madacovi. co . So you can get in touch with them if you're having the same issue.””
“Exactly the same as the customer below - I asked why my application to open a fixed-term saver was rejected. Nobody knew. I made a complaint and this is what they said:-
“unfortunately we're not able to share any more information on the reason why your application to open a fixed term saver was rejected. It's likely down to meeting eligibility criteria. We understand this is disappointing, and we're sorry for any inconvenience caused”.
I only wanted to deposit money with them - I thought mistakenly that they were a bank! 🤣🤷”
“Had previously been a very happy customer and made recommendations. However, my most recent experience has been terrible. Having recommended Starling for a new business our FD and I have spent hours only to be told an opaque "not eligible". No reason despite holding a number of other accounts with them. Worse the app actually sends an invite out and then displays a server error rather than the issue. Total waste of time.”
“I lost over $480,000 to this scam broker, and I was looking for a way to recover my money back until the day I came across people testifying on how Mrs. rose help them recover their money back, I did not waste any time I quickly contacted her she told me to drop the required information which I did after that, I did not here from her, after two days she contacted me told me to check my wallet and to my surprise my money was recover back to my account, I promise to tell the world how she help me recover my money back, Contact. EMAIL :: rose_hoover_90_@_gmail_._com”
“After trading for over four years as a hobby business I decided to go full time and of course needed a proper business bank account. starling came recommended by a friend who uses them so I tried to apply but was rejected without explanation or recourse. All attempts to get further information have been blocked/ignored. 24/7 customer support is worthless if their only answer is "we refuse to tell you that". I have trading history, equipment and assets already and so have zero risk - I wasn't even applying for any kind of credit. They're simply not interested in model trains it seems. I applied to Monzo and was snapped up in under an hour.”
“I recently decided to apply for an overdraft on my Starling account. I had money in all my accounts and had never been overdrawn before.
I found the whole experience to be over complicated and unfriendly towards the self employed. It was such a palaver that I decided to tell them to scrap it and went with a different bank instead. I have never felt so discriminated against for being self-employed and cannot understand why Starling do this to people. I did contact their customer services and they told me it was normal for people who are self-employed.
To be honest I would not recommend starling bank to anyone ever again even though in the past, I would’ve sung their praises.”
“Absolutely avoid. Terrible customer experience, from a bank that won’t even allow you to control your own money, nor give you even bother to give you a reason why.
As a Product Designer I can also confidently say the user experience is comical. Rather than drawing focus to the funds in your account, they prioritise how much you’ve spent that day by drawing contrast to this, rather than what you have available.
The staff are rude, unhelpful and not remorseful in the slightest.
The last straw for me was when my sister desperately needed me to send some money to her and Starling blocked it. When I asked why they refused to tell me.”
“There are a number of reasons why we might have to leave a 1 star review, but unfortunately we're not able to share any more information on these. It's likely down to meeting eligibility criteria. We understand this is disappointing, and we're sorry for any inconvenience caused.”
“They asked me to send them all my personal documents, to video myself, short of dancing like a chicken, all to verify my new personal account and then they had the nerve to reject the documentation because each company worded my flat slightly differently and according to their address database and Starling also only offered one address option that was also slightly different, so there was bound to be a discrepancy which I explained via email. I cannot believe I wasted half my day like an idiot sending them document after rejected document. It's these types of online app services that are so dangerous and the people that work there are mindless robots, the managers are all the same and thee companies sleepwalk us into a data tyranny and them into bankruptcy because they're dumb and inflexible. They put all our data at risk whilst promoting themselves as secure and they cannot think like a human being and I'm seeing whole organisations being brought down because of data, app and IT worship stupidity like this.”
“Starling restricted my business account with no notice and asked me factually incorrect questions which they would see if they read their own app or statements. Four days of trying to contact someone to get the restrictions lifted and no further forward.
After 5 days they seized my funds without notice and did not provide evidence of where my seized funds are. They are in breach FCA's principles of acting with integrity and delivering deliver good outcomes for retail customers.
On day 14 without I got an email saying my account has been closed and they will send me a cheque within 30 days. They remove access to the app and no means of proving I have made a complaint. Clearly if you leave bad reviews or complain they close your account”
“the worse bank the whole world
the worse bank the whole world,
They not allowing to withdraw more than £300 per day, I called the bank and spoke to their manager "Charlie" too that I need an urgent withdraw to pay cash, she told me first nobody at this moment will be able to release to withdraw more than £300 because it is night, so I asked how about if I call tomorrow morning, she said even tomorrow if I call, they bank not allowing. only can do online transfer,
I told her that I need an emergency cash. she said we can not increase the withdraw limit.
Please they do not have any Branch anywhere to go and withdraw from their branch,
Anybody want to open an account with Starling, think well first because you gonna have the same problem in future as I and other costumers that they had the same issue.
Shame on you Starling”
