Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Fantastic bank

5
Customer since Nov 2018 and fully moved all my banking including direct debits, etc. over to them a couple of months later. Never had any problems with them or the banking app, smooth and straight forward from account opening to switching everything across. Intuitive and glitch-free app since the start but with a lot of smaller updates based on what customers seem to have suggested. Brilliant and amazing customer service as I had a couple of issues in the past, neither of them caused by by Starling bank but they were actually helping another bank involved (Sender’s bank) so that eventually I received an international payment I was expecting. Brilliant and reliable product with no hidden fees. Reviewed on: 27th March 2021

An excellent intro to fintech banking, without compromise

5
From the speed of setting up the account online, to receiving the bank card, which in itself is a pleasurable experience (the packaging makes it feel luxurious, that you're now part of a special club)....I love the saving spaces, the speed of transactions, the alerts and the analysis of spending and post office pay ins. The App UI is slick and the banking ethos is admirable. Although I bank with a high Street bank in addition, I'm tempted to move more of my day to day to Starling and will be further taking a kids card out with them. Reviewed on: 27th March 2021

A breath of fresh air

I found Starling after growing increasingly frustrated with NatWest who I had been with for a decade. The ease of use, app and set up were all very easy. I have been recommending this account to everyone I know Reviewed on: 26th March 2021
