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

Great bank account with great features.

I love this account because the app is so easy to use and I can keep an eye on my spending easily, but the main reason I opened a Starling account was for the fee free cash withdrawal abroad feature. Once Covid is over, I hope to use this feature again! Reviewed on: 19th February 2021

Peace of mind

5
Starling just makes it easy for me to manage my money. The app works well, I'm confident in their security. I was worried about moving to an online only bank, but now I'd never go back. Plus the withdrawal abroad fees are excellent. Big fan. Reviewed on: 19th February 2021

Starling Bank is Awesome

5
I switched my 30yr high street bank for starling about 2 yrs ago now and have found it an excellent decision and i am happier than ever with my account ... pre covid 19 i travelled europe 3-4 times a year so the european banking transaction and money withdrawal costs (zero by the way ) was the biggest draw for me and the app is just so easy to use . Great Job Guys Keep It up Reviewed on: 19th February 2021
