Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Everything I need from a bank

Starling works smoothly. It's always available, and using biometric security, it seems (touch wood!) safe. The only time I needed to contact customer service the call was answered quickly and my query immediately dealt with Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent bank for international students

Amazing bank that I managed to setup in less than 24 hours! As an international PhD student, it was an absolute nightmare to get a British Bank account within a few days of my arrival to the UK . Starling made this absolutely easy and convenient, as it should be. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Fantastic!

Superb service, never have a problem. Best bank account I have ever had. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Great account

So easy to set up and easy to manage finances with added bonus of having an arranged overdraft Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Highly recommended

A user friendly App from a forward thinking bank, there’s nothing not to like about Starling. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

The best banking user experience I have ever encountered

The ease of use, clarity of information, clean user interface, and speed of notifications is above and beyond any other banking experience. I have been using online banking since 2002 (the early days of Cahoot) and to my mind Starling is the cleanest, easiest, and most informative banking experience I have had to date.

Easy to deal with

in comparison with my historic dealings with high street banks this company are a breeze to deal with Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Best bank ever

So easy to stay on top of spending and I’ve saved so much more than I ever would by having the ability to see everything and put funds in spaces without any extra interest of charge. Also the card is so cute what’s not to love Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
