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

Really good on line bank account

I’ve been using starling for for over two years and originally used when abroad due to the great exchange rates and accessibility. However it’s now become a really good mainstream bank in my opinion. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Great banking -easy set up, ethical.

I found Starling Bank after searching for ethical banking. What I didn't necessarily expect was the best banking experience of my 50 years. After struggling with the standard banking of HSBC for a number of years, the ease of set up with Starling was so refreshing. The app works well on both my android and my partner's Iphone. Easy to navigate, see payments and organise finances. I cannot recommend more highly. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Neat, easy to operate, all you want

Starling is a well thought out complete banking experience with an easy, intuitive interface with updates that are remarkably responsive to client needs. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

So simple yet brilliant

I have had a current account for around a year now and is definitely the best of the best, I've had accounts with the "big banks" and they do not come close. I love the spaces feature for saving, and when spending you have the option of rounding up to the nearest pound to go towards your saving. I believe getting notifications when purchasing is amazing and is a great security feature. It does everything I need and everything I want. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to keep a close eye on their spending. A very happy customer Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

friendly and ethical

We are very happy with the user friendly service and the fact that the bank is ethical and does not invest in non-ethical funds was an important part of our choice for changing bank Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Brilliant bank account

I like the updates on spending and also the categories which is a great help to know my expenditure at a glance Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Excellent service

The best bank account ever so easy to use Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Fantastic - nothing but praise

Clear bank app where you stay fully in control of your card's functionality, and great help when you need to speak to someone fast, any time, wherever you are in the world. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Modern, straightforward and designed for the 21st century

I had been frustrated over a long period of time, as it was clear my old ‘high street’ bank was confined in its flexibility by its use of dated legacy systems. Its online banking and mobile app offerings were very restricted and ‘clunky’ due to the fact that anything new had seemingly been ‘bolted on’, whereas Starling Bank has been designed from the ground up for how a bank should operate in the 21st century. It just works as a bank and makes everything you might need to do very intuitive and a joy to use. They even make the sign-up process as straightforward as possible with everything within reach from the comfort of your home. My partner and I moved our joint account from our old bank stress-free within 7 days with Starling taking care of everything and we haven’t looked back. I have no hesitation in recommending Starling Bank to anyone. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Everything just works.

Easy to quick to open an account, app is a doddle to use. Everything is clear and straightforward and everything just works. Enjoy the blog and all the regular updates and tips and pointers. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021
