Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Customer focused, ecological, diverse

Starling bank are the most conscientious customer focused bank I have ever been with, they're always putting customer needs first. They also focus on being environmentally friendly which is very important to me. Being branchless and paperless really reduces their consumption of plastics and paper along with their pledges to environmental causes. They celebrate diversity and Anne is very passionate about this. Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Online Banking Made Easy

I was recommended to this Online bank by one of my Sons. Best choice I made In many Years so quick & easy to use I can view my bank balance a 100 times a day If I wish Always help at the tip of your Finger with a quick response Every time I have peace of mind with Starling Bank. No Fees No Fuss No Hassle Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Great app and no fees

The new app feature "saving spaces" is very useful for separating payments for bills and money to put aside for savings from my daily spending money. Also, as a traveler and expat, it is extremely beneficial that Starling does not charge international fees. This bank is definitely the right choice for me and I would recommend it to anyone!

banking made super easy

My current account with Starling is brilliant. I am now in complete control of my finances. It keeps me up to date by the minute of what is coming into and out of the account. The app is very easy to use, I've had no crashes whilst using it. Any contact with Starling has been fast and efficient. Paying in cheques with a photo is fantastic. Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Bank at my fingertips, very easy to use, pay bills and online purchases Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Older customers this is for you to.

I read about starling bank and took the plunge and joined online because it was relatively easy to do. Age 67. Some online stuff isn't easy, young people find it easy. I had my state pension paid into the account, that was easy. It did take a while to get used to what you had to do. I like the instant lock feature on the card. You don't need to remember an obscure tel number to speak to a robotic voice etc. Making payments , bank transfers, easy. You do need to keep you mobile handy. My previous bank account was hacked 3 yrs ago. Not my fault, I was made to feel like a criminal. A friend gave me good advice report it to police fraud depot. My account was reinstated in 3 days. No explanation over the fraud, the police told me it was a bank hack not an individual like me. This account makes me feel more secure. I am in control. The more I use it the easier it is. I trust this bank more than any other bank. The enrolment with the video. Can't be copied or controlled. So no one else can take control of your account. Starling go the extra mile . The other banks cant of won't, stuck in the past. I don't miss queuing in a bank branch for a simple transaction. So if your retired, a bit sceptical of online banking. Give it a go. You won't look back. Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

User friendly service

Been very satisfied with using online banking.If my wife and i find it easy so can any one else Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Excellent Customer Service

We had a problem with a company that we thought had scammed us. I contacted Starling Bank and they dealt with it immediately. The situation was resolved promptly and positively. The customer service representative kept me informed at each stage and provided very clear information. I was very impressed as other banks I have used have not provided this level of service.
