Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

An innovative bank, brilliant ideas and features

So many things are fantastic! Being able to write notes on each transaction and add a photos of the receipt/invoice (and products bought if buying online). Notifications to let me know when a payment (direct debits, standing orders, regular and normal card payments that have been made, Being able to save money in as many saving spaces as I need without having to open a new savings account- they are combined and interest is earned on the whole balance of the savings spaces and the current account. The brilliant new feature where a direct debit or standing order can be made from a savings space.which makes saving money for bills etc so much more organised… the Kite account for children under 16 gives kids a bit of freedom and responsibility with their money whilst I can keep an eye on what they are spending. I have recommended Starling Bank to friends and family. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Easy Use

I like Starling because it is easy to useand account details are updated quickly. There staff are very helpfull. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Just simply the best

Everything is so brilliant about this bank, card app. Other banks are just doing some of the stuff that starling has been doing for ages. One of those things is when you spend automated notification of your spend. The rounding up feature too is brilliant for savings. I used to “skim” my account in to a savings account manually now I don’t have to. These little things are brilliant and pioneering being used now by other main stream banks. I love the element of saving in euros and being able to toggle to euros when abroad Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Best banking experience ever

I needed an account to hold Euros. The way Starling enables you to set up a Euro account linked to a current account is so easy to set up and use. It almost took me 10 minutes to set up from start to finish. Absolutely amazing. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Fast, Functional and forward thinking

Whilst I maintain my high street bank I have found myself leaning more and more towards starling. The many features including saving and bills spaces, are innovative, the interaction is smooth and constantly adapting to the many needs of their users. I have recommended to all my friends and colleagues. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Very easy and simple to understand

From the outset getting things sorted has been extremely straightforward and quick. No hassle, unlike many high street brands I could mention. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Gives me brilliant financial organization

I moved from a traditional account to Starling and what a difference! I love the spaces feature for saving and have set up my daughter with a Kite account which gives her independence. I feel more focused with my finances and far more organized. I love my new account. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Amazingly easy

Love, love, love the Saving Spaces & Bills Manager. So easy to use and gives clarity on what’s left for day to spending. So helpful when on a tight budget. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
