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

Best bank around, second to none!

5
Easy to setup and manage, Spaces feature is an amazing money saving tool with Roundup. Have recommended several family and friends to switch to Starling and all have had the same positive view. The recent introduction of a solid interest rate on positive balance is also fantastic. Finally, the zero foreign transaction fees, and using Mastercards currency rate when dealing in foreign currencies is amazing, I travelled across Japan for 5 weeks and the simplicity of using my card as normal and knowing I'm not incurring any additional fees from my bank was a great.

I highly recommend Starling Bank. The staff are prompt to take calls and resolve issues, I get the highest security for my money, and get paid monthly interest for saving. It's the best bank experience I have this far. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

The app is excellent, very easy to use, and the Spaces function makes managing my money very easy. I regularly check I've got the best value financial services available to me and each time I review current accounts Starling still offer the best in terms of service, functionality, and interest rates.
