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

Helps keep you in control

Love the little touches that help. Warning when a bill is going to be paid, the spaces for saving, the emails with expert help and tips to help you manage your money. Love it. Have recommended and wouldn’t change. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Amazing bank!

I switched to Starling as my previous bank didn’t offer great online and phone support, and especially with the Coronavirus and branches being closed, it was very hard to get help. As well as offering 24/7 help, it’s also so easy to apply for an account, all your spending is divided into categories, and the savings spaces are a really neat feature. So impressed with Starling, I got my whole family to switch! Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Great bank

I switched to starling because the bank I was with branch was closed starling app allows me to control my money better and I can lock my card off my phone than have to call Santander to get I locked Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Best bank by far

Switched 2 years ago and best thing I ever did. Extremely efficient and feel so secure. Being a fraud prevention professional this is so important to me. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Amazing, easy to use bank :)

Literally the easiest banking app. Everything is honestly so great. The saving spaces, easy access to everything you need, online bank statements. Couldn’t be happier! Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Great!

Love the spaces for different goals. Easy to set up and use. Love the App Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Safe, simple and everything I need

The Starling bank account is a great place to keep money. I get notified about everything that’s going on and I have complete faith in them. Always friendly and approachable it delivers exactly what you would expect from a modern bank Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Best bank we have ever been with

We’ve used RBS, NatWest, HSBC, Halifax and Lloyds over the years before switching to Starling just over a year ago. Starling is light years ahead. The app operates as one would expect nowadays and provides all the facilities and functionalities required. Wouldn’t recommend anything else! Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Great app

Slick app with great user experience. Love the ability to set sub-accounts of goals and getting notifications the day before a scheduled payment is due. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Much better than my old High St bank

Recently moved from a more traditional high street bank to Starling and very pleased with the ease and simplicity of the process and the features that Starling provide. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021
