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

Great bank

Very easy to use. Everything you need on the app. Much more up to date then any other bank. You can even pay a cheque in on the app. How good is that Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Won over

Was a little sceptical at first but opened an account and impressed with the service and ease of use. Can see this winning a lot more people over. Even offer a small overdraft facility at a fraction of the charges levied by the big banks. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Straightforward and innovative

Had no problems and am considering opening a business account. Some great ideas like spaces and everything works. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Perfect for busy living!

Simple but complete banking in my pocket at all times Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Flexible, responsive and replete with usful features

I am very impressed with my experience (3 months so far). The account is flexible and responsive through the App and minor problems have been sorted very quickly by Starling staff. I frequently make on-line purchases in Euros and the Euro add-on is extremely useful and economical as it does away with the expensive per-transaction foreign currency fees of my other banks. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Really easy to use

Services and app is really awesome. Just they don’t have a physical bank that’s all. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Banking as it should be

I don't want a bank manager or to replicate the past. Instead, I want a bank that works the way my life does. And that is Starling. An intuitive interface, clean design and with the information I need to manage my money to hand. Being able to see who I am paying gives me the confidence it isn't a scam or I have mistyped. And 3D Secure implemented in a way that works - clearly explained authorisation within the app. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Retired

When I retired I felt that my previous bank lost interest in me. That's when I transferred to Sterling. What difference it was, I wished I had done it earlier. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Absolutely fantastic

So simple it’s frightening. Not for me, and not for you. For the big banks including HSBC which I left to join. Easy to use, great customer service, a fantastic app. It’s been a fantastic year with my new bank. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Modern yet as reliable as trad banks

Gives the impression of a solid, stable, well managed organisation with a sensible, balanced product range. A pleasure to deal with. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
