Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Simple banking.

Does what it says on the tin. Easy simple banking with great customer service. Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Easy banking at your fingertips

Previously a Monzo customer, without accessible cheque paying-in I never felt fully able to ditch the high-street bank. Switching to Starling has provided the same great service and better, crucially allowing me to ditch my high-street bank and simplify my banking. Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Just How Banking Should Work

By far the best bank I've every used. Each of the services they offer is perfectly executed, and the ease with witch you can manage your money is game-changing. We live in times of high technological change and Starling have aptly taken advantage of it to make my life easier... #bankingdoneright Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Simple, safe & secure

I love the fact that using the app and the new desktop are so simple. They're easy to navigate and there's no fuss or confusion! Being able to deposit funds at the post office is so convenient too. The regular updates are perfect for keeping us informed with what's going on and I'm so happy that I chose Starling, I've recommended to many friends who are also members now too.

Perfect for regular current account

Very smooth app and online experience banking with Starling for Personal and Joint account with my partner. I use it for all banking apart from savings accounts and would recommend it to everyone, even my grandparents! Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Simple and Powerful

Great app with logical layout and simple to use features - good bye high street banks! Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Banking done right

This is how banking should be — calm, efficient, responsive, convenient and easy to use. The app is well designed, tracks all income and expenditures, and gives an easy overview. The ability to have a euro account is also great. Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Accessible and flexible

Very accessible bank, with great customer service. App is easy to use with helpful savings features. Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

No nonsense mobile banking with low fees

It seems silly to be with a high street bank at this point. Banking with Starling is painless and the fees are essentially non existent. In a time where we could go abroad, I could make payments in other currencies without paying additional non-GBP fees. That’s something you should always expect from a high street bank. I love that I can get instant notifications of my purchases and see how much I’ve spent over the month. I just wish the budgeting tools were as sophisticated as Monzo’s offering.

Fee free

No fees whatsoever, unlimited cash withdrawal in the UK and abroad Reviewed on: 10th March 2021
