Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Poor service

Very poor customer services take too long to reply did not treat me fairly close my account without any reason had the account for two years did nothing wrong Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Good for travel

When I travel I mainly use my starling card because of the low fees for paying in foreign currency. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Amazing bank

Starling is the best bank in UK! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Easy Banking

Find this a great bank. Good service, easy to access account and to put monies into account Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Great banking app

Being with a couple of 'High Street Banks' since I started earning I was a little sceptical about using Starling, but due to their great reviews from other account holders my wife and I decided to give it a go. We are so happy we made the transition, the App is fantastic and so easy to use. The features on it are very well thought out, I would strongly recommend Starling to anyone. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Cutting edge banking

After 30 years with firstdirect, I moved to Starling and never looked back. Brilliant app that does everything you need. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Best bank in my opinion

User friendly, contact staff very helpful and understanding. They just do things (that help) which other banks don’t. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Sterling performance!

I hadn't appreciated how efficient a non-highstreet bank could be until I openend my Starling Current Account. To which I have to add a compliment to its unique style of communication and friendliness. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

New To App Banking

Always shied away from mobile phone banking, for security reasons mainly. But very happy with the Starling app. Can set my contact card withdrawal limit, lock the account whenever I want and have plenty of security protection all round. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Excellent experience throughout

First of all coming from a traditional bank with branches shows me how much of the companies time and resources must be devoted to these instead of on the way we actually do business with banks i.e through there app. The Starling app is really nice and simple with some decent features. Therw are always things to improve one of these areas is in the way we can analyse our finances there are limited tools to help get an insight into expenses (especially historic expense). I would also love to see more functionality from the marketplace as its very sparse at the moment. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
