Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Sleek and reliable

I have set up a Starling account a few years ago and did not regret it. I enjoy using clever things like the Space where I saved up £800 with the rounding function. The app is so user friendly, it’s so much more enjoyable to do internet banking with Starling than with the old school high street banks who are so behind in terms of keeping up with 21st century demand. Thoroughly recommended. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Great bank

So easy to use with great features! Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Groundbreaking and easy to use

From the card to the app to the different functions available in the app, Starling’s current account has set a benchmark for the industry and others are now starting to take notice - so Starling has been good for the sector too! Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Great

It makes saving easy and enjoyable. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Simple and useful

The app is incredibly simple to use and well designed. The current account product features offered are useful and relevant I.e. not having to set up a separate savings account, competitive interest rates, no overseas transaction charges, total spending each month and many more practical and useful features.

Brilliant!

Instant and visual

Can’t tell you how easy the Starling app is enough! Everything is super visual so you can see what’s going on with your money as much as you need to! Even their customer service line is super quick and helpful! Can’t recommend this bank enough! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

My best mobile bank ever, I believe they are best bank in the new era. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Fantastic Banking experience

Great banking experience very easy to use Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Ethical and great banking experience

I was looking for an ethical bank and initially tried another one which has all the ethical credentials but I found the banking experience clunky, dated and impractical. And then they told me that as a self employed sole trader (musician) I should not have opened the current account, but their ‘business account’ which charges for every transaction and is actually called the ‘social enterprise’ account. From the first moment of signing up to Starling the experience has been entirely the opposite of that. Modern, app based (but just as ethical) banking, with numerous thoughtful features to make interacting with your account simple, helpful and informative. Being able to open an account in about ten minutes and then instantly be able to start using the debit card in Apple Pay without even having to wait for it to arrive in the post (2 days later) was just the start. A few weeks in I have only positive things to say and would highly recommend Starling to anyone and everyone. A great banking experience whether you’ve ever considered the ethical angle or not, and if you have, even better. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
