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

Absolutely Amazing

Genuinely cannot fault Starling at all - The account is so easy to use and has great features - Full management on the app is a plus Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Into the future

All banking should be like starling. Since I’ve switched I’ve never looked back. I wouldn’t consider any other bank and I’m alway recommending Starling to friends and family. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Better than branch banks

Was previously with a branch bank, but due to my age I was unable to have a contactless card, but then starling was recommended to me by my brother and when I registered with them, it was extremely quick and simple. Now I have a contactless card and I’m able to easily see my balance and recent spending with minimal time or effort. Whereas with my previous bank, it was much more time consuming and difficult.

Best bank I have been with

Nice easy to use app and accounts. Lots of useful features and the ability to pay money in via the post office. Everything you’d need from a bank. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Wow banking made easy!

Switched from my old bank who were stuck in their ways and wow was it the best decision i’ve made! Banking no longer feels like a chore for me. Would suggest to anyone and everyone Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Easy and fun money management

I initially opened the account to have as a spending account alongside my main high street bank account. After only 6 months I initiated the switch as Starling makes managing money so much easier. Little things such as pending transactions appearing immediately, rather than having an available balance and actual balance mismatch. The idea of rounding up in to spaces is so very simple and negates the need for a basic savings account. This really is banking with the consumer’s needs in mind, something the high street banks could learn from. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Best current account provider!

This is in my opinion the best current account provider Reviewed on: 6th April 2021
