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

Banking as it ought to be

5
So easy to swap, easy to contact, and once you’re connected to a chat the person stays on and answers your questions. This was the main reason I swapped banks as my previous bank would respond to a chat initially and then disappear. The rest that Starling does is the icing on the cake - security/spaces/paying people all made so simple. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Outstanding banking!

5
I really do rate the instant notification and deduction from your account when you make a payment to a business rather than waiting days for your balance to update. Clean app and easy to use and easy to access customer services. Nothing about this bank is bad! Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

My first experience with starling bank

I have had no real problems with the banking app and found once getting used to is fairly easy to do banking with,unlike the problems I was getting from my high street bank. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

What are you waiting for

5
This is a bank that is always moving forwards. Having banked with them for over 3 years, the development has taken leaps and bounds. Plus, they listen to their customers. Can’t fault them. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Refreshing banking!

5
Easy, accessible anywhere banking - a breath of fresh air compared to my previous three banks! Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Modern app & functionality

5
What do you want from your bank - flexibility, clear information about your transactions, in real time not 3 days later, ability to easily manage, plan & see what you have All standard functionality & there on the app. Customer service? Also there at the click of a button - & it really feels like a human. What more could you want from a bank. Nothing ! Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Simple Straightforward Banking

5
After 3 months banking with Starling, I find their business banking simple to use. The app is clear and uncluttered. Their categories and notes for transactions makes it easy to keep track of spending. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Future of banking

5
Very good bank, way ahead of the others. About time they create ISAs and credit cards though. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Always recommending

5
I love using starling so much it’s probably the product I’ve most recommended in my entire lives. My friends and family all know how much I love it and I’m constantly telling anyone who I meet how much of a great bank it is. I would never go back to the old way of banking. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022
