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

A budgeting powerhouse

The ability to separate money into Virtual spaces and pay bills from them is excellent! Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Poor Experience

Had a poor experience with Starling Bank. Their customer service was poor, leading to a complaint and then a complaint to the ombudsman who sided in my favor. The app feels clunky and slow. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Is a bank just a bank?

A bank is just a bank right, so it's a bit weird to have an emotional attachment to it. I've had accounts with a number of banks before, from the super fancy to the mundane, but this is the first time I've got excited about banking. Love the app love the service. Everyone should bank with Starling. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

so user friendly and simple

I highly recommend Starling to all my friends and family Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Great online bank

App very user friendly Great for keeping a check on what goes out and what comes in. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Best current account features - great app

Having full control over your current account, payment notifications, bill management, card management etc, all from one simple to use app, has made this account quickly my favourite account to use A+ Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Best bank ever...

So easy to use especially abroad...I have an account for Euros and one for £££...immediately tells me when a transaction or payment is made... Overall very very happy customer.. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

Just good service

Excellent service and IT services that work and are not “down” every other day Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

Simple straightforward banking

Everything you need to see or do is all available on the app! Starling let you know the day before via notification is anything is coming in or out of your account so you can prepare! Great bank Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

Gamechanger

I used to be scared of looking at my bank balance and used to bury my head in the sand rather than deal with the issue. When I was on furlough I used that time to look into my finances and change banks. I read that Starling were a great ethical bank so I thought I'd try them. The app has change my life. I always know how much money I have now and what I'm actually spending it on. It's honestly a game changer for me. Also being able to deposit money in a local Post Office is so much easier than having to go to a bank branch in town that I would always put off. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022
