Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Easy. Good communication.

Easy to use. Easy to contact if a problem. Love the ‘Spaces’ feature. Quick response. App allows access to control account and card easily. Just a delight after so many years of high street bank bureaucracy and ‘heaviness’. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Very much more effective than others in dealing with foreign funds. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Simple, effective online banking

Starling are great. Initially, we opted for their amazing spending abroad rates, even when withdrawing cash. The app is so easy to use, and has some great little features, such as 'spaces'. It also shows you instantly hen you spend. Customer service is highly accessible even though it's mainly a chat function. Most of my banking is now via this. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Cutting edge banking

Starling Bank offers to the minute spending info and has great saving options within the app. It's user friendly and intuitive. Not looked back since I opened my account. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Easy to set up and use

Starling is excellent, it was so quick and easy to open an account. It is simple to do all banking tasks on the app, I find it really helpful that I can pay in cheques, transfer money easily and put some aside while it remains in the same account. So much better than having to queue in a high street bank and make appointments to speak to someone if you need to make any changes! Reviewed on: 30th March 2021
