I have been with Starling for many years. They are very fair and UK based, they're also a breathe of fresh air from the major high street banks. Reviewed on: 13th October 2026

Avoid Starling Bank they don't let you use your own money by stopping you transferring it between your own accounts and also returned a £20 direct debit when I had about £350 in my account, this resulted in me getting a £25 charge and it will impact my credit file. Their customer services are useless, I've been with the bank for years, but it looks like its time to move on !!!! Reviewed on: 21st August 2026

all works very well and I appreciate being able to move money into an interest generating savings pot - it would be great if I was able to automate things a bit though - and I use another credit card for most purchases so I can get cash back but id love to be able to do that with this account Reviewed on: 21st August 2026
