Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Easy to use

Has allowed me to easily control my finances by giving me notifications when I spend and receive money, allowing me to sort my funds into separate spaces and I love that I can pay bills from a separate space. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Switched recently - fantastic

Switched to Starling after I got fed up waiting for Monzo to sort out international payments. They even support accounts in Euros, it's brilliant. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Does what it says on the tin, in a smooth, seamless way.

No hitches, no fuss. Just straightforward banking with transparency and an excellent app. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Best bank ever

A personal service. Great customer service. Simple app. Fab. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Utterly Amazing

Easy to use and laid out perfectly. We love that we can move money into a space for bills and everything gors directly out of there. Made budgeting a whole lot easier! Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Very good in all the ways that count

I’m delighted with my Starling current account. It works exactly how I’d want a current account today to function - primarily app based, with real-time notifications on transactions and mainly using my phone to make purchases instead of the physical card. I love the savings goals and the way it classifies my spending into categories for an overview. Seemingly no unfair charges and I don’t see any reason to go anywhere else right now.

Great banking app

Makes my life so much easier with its notifications and spaces Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Best current account

Feature rich which is constantly developing too, some of the features released could do with a little polishing but can't fault the bank otherwise. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Customer focused banking

I have used many different banks over the years but none are as customer focused as Starling Bank. The website has been built as a true e-commerce banking platform - unlike many traditional banks which have ‘grafted’ on their online banking services to their existing offer. The result is an exceptional online banking experience. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Love Starling!

Love their product, love their brand and values, love the app. They are just easy to interact with. Couldn't go back to a high street bank again Reviewed on: 15th March 2022
