Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

A revelation!

5
Having recently retired from a traditional high street bank whose inline banking I rate highly I opened a starling account and was immediately impressed by the speed and efficiency of the app. It tells me it has received transfers before my other bank messages me to say the money has left my account! I now use Starling for all my day-to-day spending and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone else. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

High Street bank, no thanks

Have been with Starling since almost the beginning, firstly for the no charge abroad debit card and the instant notifications but quickly discovered how easy they made personal banking. Now my wife Banks with them we also have a joint account both our kids who are tech savvy (we are not) have switched to starling. Always think the sign of a good company is how it's deals with an error. Recently had one and it was solved with patience, professionalism but in a very friendly manner. If you think the words love and bank don't go together then you are obviously not with Starling Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

We all need Starling in our life!

Best Digital bank for current account and international travel

5
Very easy to open an account, excellent app to manage your account and dashboards, unlimited cash withdrawals for free and outstanding exchange rates while traveling internationally so no need to carry cash. I cant think of any other bank that can match up to Starling bank in banking service and experience. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Simply The Best

I have accounts with a number of financial organisations, but none compare to Starling for ease of use, range of features, and value. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Confident

I like Starling as I use it on my travels. Every transaction or cash withdrawal has operated faultlessly for the past couple of years. I would gladly set off with nothing but my Starling card in my pocket and be confident that I would get from A toB without a hitch. Well done Starling! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

EASY PEASY

compared to bricks and mortar banks there really is no comparison, everything is at your finger tips, every use gives a full detailed account and also a 2 day warning when deductions will be withdrawn, 10 / 10 service Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
