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

A promise met

I needed a separate bank account to gather up some family money. My existing bank of 30 years said they might be able to help and would come back to me. I then saw a Starling advert saying 'a new account in 10 minutes'. Ten months more likely given past experience with banks. But nothing ventured nothing gained and I gave Starling a go. Surprise, surprise the account at Starling was opened in 9 minutes 30 seconds. I am still waiting for my old bank, soon to be exbank, to come back to me! No surprise. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Excellent service

using it as a day to day spending, instead of my main account. Helpful for keeping track of my purchases, really fast replacement card delivery. Easy to block card if lost/misplaced. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Starling Bank

I love using Starling bank having moved from the Ulster bank which is very archaic. In the first lockdown I was sent a shopping card for friends to use as I was shielding and I could limit the amount on the account for security Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
