Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

5
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

What a great introduction to modern banking!

I signed up for my Starling current account because of the great deal they offer on using your card overseas. I couldn’t quite believe that I had my account opened and funded within 20 minutes on a Saturday morning! Originally intended just for overseas trips, it quickly became my main account as the app is so simple to use.I’m very happy with my experience and would recommend Starling to family and friends without hesitation. A really outstanding “challenger” that benefits from not having legacy systems and processes. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

I needed a 2nd current account to separate my late mother's finances from mine but my own bank couldn't help. So I went to Starling and am so glad I did. A simple app, superb customer service and interest paid too. Absolutely 5 stars - and their relatively new to the sector. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Simple or Complex - You Choose

It does exactly what I want it to do. Has remained simple to use in contrast to its major competitor (where I still have a rarely used account). Upgrade options are available but you aren’t pressured to take them. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Good access to variety of service. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
