Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

I have had an account for a couple years and I have watched other banks fade away. When I joined Starling, I signed up through the application on my phone. It was very easy. I confirmed my identity online, with somethey help me via live chat. I can upload cheques to my account. When I am a little out of pocket, I find a few spare pennies that have been automatically saved for me with each purchase. Starling is progressive and targets the current age and that is wonderful. Older people seem to get left behind in the times. This encourages them to adapt and embrace them. It welcomes them into the new age. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

How banking should be.

An excellent easy to setup and use app, featuring everything you would expect from a decent banking organisation. The customer service is quick, efficient and courteous even though it is mainly 'digital' chat. I like this bank, I REALLY like this bank, I have been trying to get my wife to move her cumbersome and expensive business account over to Starling. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

It's a revelation!

We were looking for ethical banking, but this is so much more. The way everything works is so slick - it's the best app we've seen for a bank. We'd give it 11 out of 10 if we could! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Easy Peasy Cash-free Banking

Starling are THE big change we made in the last 2 years… and so pleased we did. We rarely use cash now and the App is great for instant confirmation of transactions. So easy to use and top up… looking forward to using abroad too…. Eventually! Thanks Starling! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Brilliant. Lovely site and lovely owners.

Easy to use app with handy features such as saving spaces which bills can be paid from. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent bank

Reminder of my direct debit is good Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Simple website to use

Very useful being able to keep euros so they can be purchased when the rate is good and protected by the FSCS. Also good exchange rate for euros. Easy to check balance on account Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Fantastic bank

Only being using since aug 21, and really enjoy it. The app is so user friendly and really helps with your spending. Have rang customer service a couple of times and always been super helpful and friendly. Really pleased we made the switch! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Puts the Customer First

I immediately know what is going on with my account which has never been the case with traditional banks. This one feature alone makes me feel like I can trust Starling more. Having new features that are really useful just rolled out on a regular basis is the icing on the cake! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Awesome

A bank which has truly been designed for the 21st century! Very easy to use and manage my money, total transparency in every aspect of money management. First class service and app. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Handy. Smart. No fuss.

App works well. Great for peace of mind to be able to freeze card via the smartphone if necessary. Most transactions are instantly visible - no time wasted checking that payments have gone through etc. Starling seem to be focused on the business of banking and don't inundate customers with marketing emails etc. I cannot comment on chat function or other direct customer service features because I have had no cause to use them. A trouble-free two years! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
