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

Absolutely Love Starling Bank!

5
By far the best bank I've been with. Opening the account was so simple and completed within 2hrs (from the comfort of my sofa). Products and features are relevant and have detailed descriptions. Starling have a bunch of YouTube videos to help with using the account and to update customers on new features or upcoming features. Spaces are great for saving money, only negative is that you can't pay directly out of savings pots. All in all, I stopped using my High St banks and soley use Starling. Love it so much, both my parents opened an account the day after I opened mine. Finally banking is being done the right way, big thank you to Anne and her team! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

It just works, every single time

5
Use on an almost daily basis. Clear and easy to use. Breaks down spend to track where my money goes Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Top service all round

5
Best jam jar account, easy to apply, easy to switch, easy to use app and best of all no branches. Even considered those who were shielding during the pandemic by adapting services quickly and efficiently. Never looked back after spending a lifetime with Abbey National who became Santander which resulted in horrid service and many tears over the years. Comparable with Belgian bank N26 who no longer operate in the UK unfortunately Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Glad I swapped banks

Excellent bank, I can’t understand why our traditional high street banks are trailing so far behind with their banking methods. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
