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

It just works

This is how a banking app should work. It's fast, flexible and works in a way that feels natural. I'd like to see customisable categories, but am sure that will come in due course and does nothing to reduce my 5-star rating. Combine this excellent app with a bank with ethics and what is there not to like! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Great app & overseas life saver

Starling has a great usability, clearly and concisely communicating all the information you need to know. On top of that using it abroad is a dream! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

So user-friendly

A really easy switch from Santander and everything is at my fingertips all the time Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Excellent modern Banking

This is by far the best banking experience I have had especially the spaces part I have other bank accounts with the traditional banks and this is by far the best for modern day banking Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Really easy to get started and really easy to keep using!

Financial management of Starling is really intuitive and easy to put into place. As a person who want to keep track of everything, from saving to spending. It have been really great! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Simply A Joy

Starling bank “just gets it”! The app is super friendly to use, intuitive, gives me the authority and power to make adjustments how and when I want. More importantly it is extremely stable as well. I really feel in control of my money with Starling. I have another account with a high street bank and I always somehow feel that they think they are doing me a favour by letting me give them my money. You almost have to ask for permission every time you want to do something but Starling just trust that you know what you you want and need from your account. It is also sooooo refreshing to deal with a bank and its app that isn’t continuously trying to sell me other products. I don’t think I have ever had to contact Starling with a query or complaint because everything just works how it should first time every time. The other banks could learn an awful lot from Starling but they have let them steal a march which will be incredibly difficult to catch up from. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Easy hasle free Banking

Seamless App control of your money and all related financial needs - "simply the best" experience I've ever had in banking to date Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Accessible, ethical, easy to use and great way to save.

I wish I'd switched to starling years ago. I am disabled so can't easily access banks in person, which so many depend on. I love starling's ethics and accessibility, and the app is so clear and easy to use. I love that I can round up to add pennies to my savings, it's making a real difference. I'm finally in control of my finances. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

A game changer

My partner made the switch to Starling some time ago but I had remained with a different bank. When Starling launched the Bills space I was sold and made the switch there and then. I've not regretted it for one moment and it's definitely been a game changer for me and managing my spending. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Easy to use with useful, ever evolving features

Easy to use app with functionality that is both useful, such as separating out cash into 'spaces' and linking direct debits to these (e.g. bills), and which is always developing. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
