Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Very Good Quality

5
I had to find a new current account as Marks & Spencer are closing all their current accounts. I saw an on-line video about Starling Bank and knew that this would be the account for me as everything is done by App on my phone. My switch date was 19th March and I am extremely impressed. First of all with the card itself as all your information is on the back. The App itself tells you exactly what you have spent each day and what is due to come into your account. For instant is has a circle in the middle of the App which states what you have spent on a particular day. If you tap on it, it will give you a breakdown as to where exactly you have spent it. It also shows direct debits going out the following day and any incoming money. The other benefit was that you could use your card for Contactless purchases straight away. This suits me really well because I only have to check my phone to see where my money is going which is great. I am sure that I am going to become more happy when I have familiarised myself completely with the services available on this card. So far I am extremely happy and would recommend it Starling Bank to any of my friends considering switching banks. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Starling Bank is my go to bank.

5
I'm really impressed by Starling Bank, I use it for all my casual expenditure and am starting to set up Direct Debits. It is easy to keep track of expenditure and to set up different categories of spending. It is intuitive and straightforward to use. It is friendly and helpful. I love the interest it pays on my current account and the fee free foreign currency. Reviewed on: 16th April 2024

The modern way to do Banking

5
I love everything about Starling - the App is easy to navigate and useful features such as "Spaces" allows you to manage your money effectively. I also love the use of virtual debit cards that can be put against specific pots, which makes it easier still to budget. Customer Service is always on hand to help and the staff are always friendly, courteous and respectful. The newsletter is always informative, not just on new feature but on general things to help you manage your account more effectively. Reviewed on: 16th April 2024
