Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Very reliable

This is the best bank for “on the go banking “ due to easy account opening.Convinient for tracking expenditures and basic utilities . Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

User friendly

I've been really pleased with Starling. The app is very user friendly with notifications of updates and new features. I like the 'Spaces' part which allows me to allocate money for savings and bills etc, whilst allowing me to dip into those pots in emergencies. I loved the snowglobe effect during the winter, such fun! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

There when most of the banking industry wasn't

I opened my account during one of the COVID lockdowns; my previous banking provider was being massively unhelpful, well absent really, after I had redeemed a current account mortgage. In desperation I turned to Starling and after a year am very glad I did so. Setting up the account was very simple, service responses (password resets) are quick, the account functionality is just what I need, nothing more and nothing less. IMO it is just what you need a current account to be simple, efficient and well supported. I'll never voluntarily return to the legacy banks. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Simply the best on-line bank.

Siimply the best on-line bank, the app is easy to navigate and moving funds around couldn't be simpler - thoroughly recommend them. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Great all rounded Bank

Starling bank has really helped me keep track of spendings and make all of my bills on time. I know of no other bank close to Starling, the app also makes everything so much easier with the fluidity and the speed it works at. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Smart starling banking

Easy to set up an account, nice. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Technically excellent

Compared with first direct app, first direct is Stone Age. Best for me are the almost total lack of overseas charges. \ironically, first direct are absolutely hell compared with anyone when used abroad. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
