Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Simple and efficient banking

5
I've used starling for years and whilst I have opened other accounts since, I just keep coming back to starling as my main account. It's just simple to use, efficient and clean cut. Only downside is that you cannot withdraw more than the ATM daily allowance should you need to pay for something expensive by cash as I did with my dog. Reviewed on: 17th March 2022

Easy to use, app makes it easier to budget and save for holidays/projects through the use of Spaces. So much better than a lot of products out there Reviewed on: 17th March 2022

Simple modern thinking and approach to personal, joint account and business banking

5
Very easy to any type of account, get feedback from staff and order items such as cards, The app is the key enabler and clearly written from the ground up rather than being a legacy structure like current banks adapted to look "new". It makes it very easy to perform banking activity across multiple accounts and suits my financial requirements better than even some newer banking entrants to the market.

Simple Banking

Since opening the current account I have not had to contact the Bank which is great as everything I need is in the APP. The app is easy to use and I am able to carry out all my banking needs. Even the account switch service is easy and the app keeps you updated on the progress. All in all this is a awesome Bank! Reviewed on: 16th March 2022
