Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

2
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

Best bank

5
It really is the best bank I have ever used. I love to be able to see when mime is due to strive in my account. Get notifications every time any money goes in or out. Love the spaces so no need to open a separate savings account. Great customer service as well. What's not to love Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Helps with peace of mind

5
I love Starling, dealing with them is really easy. Their Spaces feature is invaluable and makes it fun to save money, and I love the round up feature. This has enabled me to save for Christmas without thinking about it! The notifications about transactions and reminders for the next day are helpful too, it lets you know immediately and helps you keep an eye on your account to make sure there's no fraud, and is brilliant when you're paying with your phone using contactless, you know immediately if the payment has been processed or not. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Best bank around

5
Remarkably easy to setup a joint account, just tap phones together and the app does the rest! Really like the notification feature where you are told ahead of time what payments are coming out and when so you never miss a direct debit Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

What more could you ask for from a bank

5
It would be good if starling bank could add some money in to your pot then could save more Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Greatest on the planet

5
Best bank in the world, there are no fees and it’s great for under 18 year old like me, and I love the new feature where I can have euros account and a pounds one at the same time Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Flexible

5
The Sterling and Euro account flexibility is amazing. Whoever designed the Starling app had their head screwed on. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Best move ever

5
I’ve never been so happy that I changed to Starling when my old bank decided to close all current accounts, if I’d known how different online banking was with them I’d have switched a long time ago. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Top class Bank

5
I moved form Barclays 2 years ago as their app was old fashioned and out dated. Plus they were closing all my nearby branches. I've never been into the bank for a while anyway so I thought why not go to an internet bank. So glad I did, everything is so easy and I've had no issues at all. Since I joined Starling my wife, son, his girlfriend and my other son have all joined. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Brilliant!

5
What's not to like, a well-sorted app backed up by a well-sorted bank! Absolutely no issues since I signed up 6 months ago and I have no intention of going anywhere else. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

So Easy To Use

5
Switching to Starling was so easy and they gave an update every step of the way. The App interface is so easy to use and you can see everything at a glance, they also keep you up to date with any changes via email. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
