Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Very easy to use

5
Easy to switch. Great ‘spaces’ to be able to separate money Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

A new customer

I have been with Starling for 9 months and their service and the app have been well beyond my expectations for a current account. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Practical and not archaic

5
It’s a low benchmark these days for a bank to achieve the things customers are asking for. Cheques payable from home rather than at the ‘local’ bank (that’s 30 miles away) etc. I moved to starling and I couldn’t be happier. My favourite feature is the spaces because you can set money aside on pay day/day of your choice and your bills will be paid from that space. The only thing I wished they also did was make it possible to pay recurring debit card transactions from those spaces too. The other features I like are setting up payees so if they have more than one account, you can list them all under their name. You can even add a photo. It’s just a practical bank that’s not stuck in the 1800s. Would happily recommend to all. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

I just love Starling. It’s so easy to use, immediately you know when you have just used your card and that makes me feel very safe. Brilliant customer service too. Why wouldn’t you change ? Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
