Starling Bank Current account reviews (27464)

Good online only bank but not as flexible as I thought!!

3
Great Instant notifications, good security, good features!! However, it is not as flexible as one may think..!!! Starling cannot alter its monthly charges to a convenient date, eg payday, to avoid further charges when you are already overdrawn!!! If this is altered will definitely be the best online/App based bank ever!!! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Superb way of banking

Totally love using starling bank. So much easier to navigate and almost everything on the app. The integration of spaces which I usually use for budgeting is just amazing. Also secure to use and customer service is outstanding. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Its so simple

The Starling Account is a dream to operate. You can lock/unlock your card. Credits and debits are almost instantaneous. The ability to pay in a cheque by "photo" was a god send during Covid. No extra charges when purchasing abroad and to cap it all they pay interest on your money. Huzzah!! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

I signed up for a Starling current account after reading about its founder and her ethos for the bank. Starting a new account was easy and I’m looking forward to using all the features which look really useful. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
