Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

If only all Banks were this good

Very easy to setup & manage your account / money . Online functionality is streets ahead of traditional / historical banking. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Easy and efficient account

App has multiples ways to display and label you money spend, I have never felt so organised as everything is there for me in one place. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

All you need Online!

Moved everything into Startling. Also have kids kite account. Use “Spaces” to organise and bring my finances on track . Taking full control of finances in real-time . Love this bank. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Tip top!

So refreshing after the staid high street banks. Everything just works with no fuss. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Really innovative

The whole online experience is really great. Easy to use and good information on spending etc. However the reason for my top rating is the introduction of the shopping card, which has been such a blessing for me this past year. I live in Surrey. My 89 year old father lives in Lancashire. He is housebound, so cannot get to the bank. He has needed help with his shopping during lockdown but had no access to cash and didn't want to give his bank card and PIN to the home help. His High St bank had no solution and even less interest in the issue. The ability to arrange a separate shopping card on my Starling account for his home help to be able to use in shops up to the limit I set (but not online or in ATMs) solved all our problems. Than you Starling Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Saves a fortune abroad

When I eventually get back to travelling, I will save money every time I make an ATM withdrawal abroad. The best rate, and no additional charges for using the card abroad. This card is brilliant, I NEVER go abroad without it. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

A very current account!

As soon as I buy something my app lets me know Starling is on the case Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Convenient app based banking

Really easy to use app makes it easy to keep track of all spending including advance notice of direct debit payments Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Banking without a Bank

Great easy to use App based bank with lots of useful features. Easy to set up your current account, help there if you need it. Money can be set aside to save for “goals”. Immediate notifications of money paid in or out. I feel happy that my money is in safe hands and would recommend Starling to anyone. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Just awesome

Fab mobile banking which has changed my relationship with my money Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
