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

Brilliant, easy-to-use, what more could you want?

I’ve used a few banks in my time but Starling is by far the best. Its ease of use, free account, intuitive UI and brilliant customer service all summate to a fantastic experience Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Ideal, easy and hassle free.

Great service and easy to use app. No body pushing other products etc. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Completely changed my personal finances

To be honest I do not quite understand what it is about Starling that had such a dramatic effect on my personal finances, but something about them has. Before I joined Starling my finances were awful, i could never make ends meet, was always broke, and regularly missed payments. Since I switched I have always had money left at the end of the month, and have never missed a payment. A remarkable turnaround, and a relief and removal of so much stress. I recommend them regularly to my friends. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Amazing

The fact the money goes in and out INSTANTLY and I can see it straight away makes it better than my first direct. Makes budgeting much easier. Also the pots for money are genius Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

A digital bank that sets the standard

Starling sets the standard for how modern, digital, banks should be. I've recently switched from Monzo as I felt they lost the personal touch I needed from a bank, focusing on making money with non-essential features (I mean a shiny card?!). Starling brings back the personal touch I need with the focus on pure banking. I'm so glad to have switched! Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Easy and simple

Starling is an easy and simple bank to use. Never any problems with anything and it's as safe as a high street bank. Everything is easily accessible via the app Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

The bank of the times

I have had an account for a couple years and I have watched other banks fade away. When I joined Starling, I signed up through the application on my phone. It was very easy. I confirmed my identity online, with somethey help me via live chat. I can upload cheques to my account. When I am a little out of pocket, I find a few spare pennies that have been automatically saved for me with each purchase. Starling is progressive and targets the current age and that is wonderful. Older people seem to get left behind in the times. This encourages them to adapt and embrace them. It welcomes them into the new age. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

So easy to use

I love the app. Also customer service were extremely helpful. I can't fault the app it has all the information you need and really helps you keep on top of your finances. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Amazing

Took out account initially on Martin Lewis recommendation for using on holiday as no exchange rate fees and good exchange rate- so impressed am now transferring my current account with another bank over and this will be my main current account Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Starling Bank is definitely making money equal

Starling bank has improved my spending and the switching from nationwide I couldn’t be anymore happier! I also am able to get my little brother a starling’s ‘kite’ card for just £2 a month! Starling has really shaken up online banking in a good way. Definitely a ⭐️for starling Bank! Reviewed on: 5th March 2021
