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

Banking made easy

5
Using Starling Bank App I feel I have a control over my finances. User friendly and intuitive UI makes it easy to use. I very much appreciate features like: Card Contactless Limit or Paying Bills from Saving Spaces. Their customer service was very responsive and helpful too and they helped me to resolve my issue within a few days even though it was Xmas holiday period. I'm overall very satisfied with their services. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Excellent banking service

5
I was immediately impressed by Starling even before I opened my account- process was so easy. As a customer, I love the immediate spending notifications, ease of saving via “spaces” and ease of personalising e.g. contactless limits and home views. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Easy to use App

I have been using Starling for a couple of years. Easy to use App and very efficient Customer service. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

It works well

5
Started using starling in November, everything is easy to manage and maintain, with multiple accounts easy. Works very well, and no outages so far. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Amazing bank, I love it

5
I’m not one who usually gets excited about banks, but Starling Bank is like a bank I have never experienced before. It is so user friendly, I get notifications when money comes in and out of my account and I absolutely love the bill space feature. By far the best bank account I have ever had. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

The best bank I have ever been with!

5
I have been with a few banks over the years and nothing compares to the service offered by Starling. I wanted a bank that would help me see what I was spending my money on and give me a breakdown in an easy digestible way, which Starling does using colourful charts and icons. I also love that I can have as many savings pots as I like and I can customise them with my own pictures, which in turn drives me further to save for what I want as I am reminded of my goal every time I look at it. I had originally took out a Starling account to use for my food shopping and meals out, however, I think I am going to make this my main bank account in the next coming months after I have moved house. Thanks Starling Kirsty Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Makes banking easy!

5
Starling bank has made budgeting and controlling my money so easy. As a young person we are not always taught about how to budget and save money but with the spaces sections on starling I have saved so much more than I ever could have imagined! It has made me more aware about my money and how to save it. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Wow

5
Wow never knew a bank app and card so easy to use and control, features are great and new ones on the horizon. I was with my other bank for many a year thought I'd try this one as a back up, now moving all my direct debits and more to this one. Nothing negative from me Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Fantastic service for the modern global age

5
Starling provide an excellent banking service especially in this modern global age. Personally, I have found their Euro account especially useful. And someone who has a second home in Germany its policy of not charging a mark up the exchange rate extremely fair. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Great features and fit for purpose.

5
Easy to apply for, with great competitive products that put the traditional banks on the back burner. I'd describe STARLING BANK, as "PRIMUS INTER PARES" (i.e. "First among equals") Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
