Starling Bank Current account reviews (27464)

User-friendly online account

As always I was hesitant about setting up an on line account but it was so straight forward and up and running in no time. Initially this was to use for holiday money, good exchange rates and no fees but am increasingly using it for savings goals and day to day purchases. Instant notification of spending, easy to set aside funds for specific purposes, help always available if needed. Excellent service, would highly recommend! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Excellent!

Went to Australia and had no issues what so ever with this card when others in my party struggled with there card! Also let me budget each day and let me know when I was getting near daily budget! Also excellent over here can’t fault it! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Efficient banking.

I have been a starling customer for nearly 3 years.I have 2 accounts one joint and another for personal use.I can't praise starling enough .The app is easy to use and I like getting alerts immediately after a purchase.You can keep track of your spending without worrying.Transfering money into other accounts is hassle free.For travelling abroad ,currency is automatically converted and there was no problem accessing the app.Thanks starling - you are awesome.

Super easy control of money

Very intuitive app, very easy to pay out and in, easy to see where money has been spent. Good checks to make sure people think before paying someone new. Great customer service one the rare occasion I've needed to contact Starling. Really wished I'd been with this bank 10 years ago. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Awesome!

Using my Starling account for over 6 months now and very happy with the ease of use! Excellent features to help me save and instantly keep track of my transactions. I feel very in control. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Best bank I've had!

Love Starling. So easy to navigate. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

An account that works as described

I am happy with how the account/app works for me. Bending over backwards to be fair & objective, the only minus points (such as they are) would be a slower and less expert customer service as the bank has grown, which used to be an expert response within 15/20 minutes. Also a too frequent, for my liking, card rejection requiring a pin confirmation when compared with friends banking elsewhere. Identification of payee and tracking expenditure is light years ahead of my experience with my clearing bank account. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Best bank by far

I have always been satisfied with the help I've had very easy to use and lots of useful options in app Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Simple yet powerful

Starling has all the features of a Bank as well as it goes beyond the normal features of traditional bank account. It’s really easy to understand. Summary of spending helps a lot to understand where u money goes and where u need to save. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Holiday funds

Great card for taking on holiday if you don't want to carry your money about with you. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
