Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

No-Nonsense

5
No waiting, no excuses, simple easy banking, they show the others how it should be done. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2023

Best customer service

5
You can live chat and solve any questions within minutes. Barclays who I was with, are terrible in comparison Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Best bank ever

5
This is hands down the easiest and best online bank I have ever had. The app is perfectly crafted to empower you to understand your expenditure, you can tuck money away in “spaces”, have total control of your card - how much to tap, secure authentication etc and I’ve recommended it to so many people they must think I’m on commission. On top of this, they beat the high street bank rates. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Ease of use clear and understandable text web pages well designed and always work well. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

The account is easy and secure. Little things like being asked if I want my contactless limit changed, make a big difference. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
