Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

From loads of old accounts to Starling Spaces...

We had a number of old accounts in our other main bank. Rather than having to manage all the different payments in and out of the five accounts we switched it all to Starling using their Spaces facility to create 'sub accounts' whcih gave us a single view and easy management of our monthly finances.

From the day one I have never looked back..

From the day one I have never looked back. This bank provides an excellent service for all my needs. The app is very easy to use and it has fantastic features. My favourite feature is Spaces where I can create as many little money saving 'pockets' as I need. The next thing that I love is how my spending is displayed, I can see how I spend my money and allow me to make informed decisions. Also, I can communicate with the team through the app and get any help if I need it. I can ramble all day about the greatness of the Starling bank because I have never ever been disappointed. I completely trust it with my money! Reviewed on: 31st August 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Only looking forward here Dina! Thanks for your loyalty, it means a lot. Sounds like you've got everything organised, especially with your Spaces. Feel free to ramble away whenever you feel like it! We love to hear it. Thanks for your feedback. Team Starling Response date: 6th September 2024

This bank makes me feel like it watches over my money when I'm not good at. It let's you put money aside I haven't seen yet a saving where higher rate and high rate & time before money able back is next one way you might help customers connect to credit agencies show it how bad or good you done that month. The bank is good and hope it stays Reviewed on: 29th August 2024

Reply from Starling Bank It's great to know the app has allowed you to organise your finances better. Thanks for your feedback, we're thrilled you're finding us useful. Team Starling Response date: 6th September 2024

Happy, great for holidays abroad.

Happy, We only use Starling to spend when we travel abroad as no fees. Unfortunately when I tried to change to a joint account with my wife I was informed that we couldn't, with no explanation. So our daily current account remains and Starling account remains purely for our 2 or 3 trips every year. Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

Reply from Starling Bank We're happy to know your Starling account has come in handy on your travels! Please ask your wife to get in touch with us at [email protected] and our team can take a look at the Joint Account application. Team Starling Response date: 6th September 2024

Just clean simple Banking

Love Starling, no messing about just clean simple banking that has never let me down. Customer service always available if I ever need them (Which as been once in 5 years), insights are useful but not intrusive like other apps and there is no feature that I do not use to make the service feel bloated. Just a really good product. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

Great for spending abroad and keeping track!

I opened a starling account to avoid taking huge amounts of cash on holiday as the current account allows me to use my debit card the same way I would if I were at home with no transaction charges and a good exchange rate. The app is great too as it instantly notifies you when payment is approved and presents all your spending history in a clear way Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

Starling was easy to switch over from my high street bank. The saving spaces and virtual cards are a great way to help manage my monies. I was nervous about no physical branch should any issues arise, however every interaction with customer services has been seamless and dealt with swiftly. Reviewed on: 9th July 2024
