Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

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

Banking made easy

5
I opened a Starling account as I spend time in Ireland, The exchange rate compared to my previous bank is a LOT better Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Modern and efficient, just as banking should be!

5
I have found myself being increasingly reliant on my Starling account. The ease of accessing to gain an idea of balance etc...the timely notifications of all incomings and outgoings without having to engage with passcodes and multi-stage factor authentication protocols is truly welcome. After over 25 years with another bank and being completely fed up with their evolved and yet still antiquated banking app, Starling is a very welcome breath of fresh air.

Keeping me informed

I buy something and my phone soon rings to let me know what I’ve spent, what I’ve spent it on and how much I have left. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

The best bank....ever!

Starling outshine the competition by far. I have not been with a bricks and mortar bank for well over 2 years and haven’t looked back since. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Perfect

I can’t see how this could be better. It far out strips all other banking options I’ve used over 40 years. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

No problem

Never give 10/10

I never give 10/10 in any sort of survey because I believe that there is room for improvement in everything and everybody. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

the app is user friendly and well thought out.

It’s a good banking experience. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Love this way of banking

5
I’m a pensioner and am alway confused when it comes to managing my finances. My son introduced me to Starling and I love it. I can see exactly what I’m spending and how much I’ve spent every week as it alerts me on my phone and the app is very user friendly. I’ve recommended it to all my family and friends.
