Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Simple and easy

Revlutionised the way we manage our day to day spending. Budgeting and putting money aside in pots means you dont get panicked by large but predictable expenses. Highly recommend. Superb. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Love it!

So easy to set up. Money comes out of the account straightaway. Always feel in control. Always someone at the end of phone or text chat. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

A little birdy told me...

I first read about Starling in a Which newsletter and decided to open an account , principally to save for spends overseas as there are no withdrawal fees charged by Starling. Extremely pleased with the easy process of joining Starling and their quick response to my early questions. The app is super easy to use and the notifications of withdrawals etc is very prompt. I find the setting of savings goals very useful as are a number of other tools in the app.I also enjoy their monthly newsletter which has lots of savvy advice especially these days when times are so tough. I made a smart choice to sign up with this smart bank. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Technologically ahead of the pack

Innovative, intuitive and inspiring. A great bank that is ahead of the curve in new ideas and ease of use Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Simply Starling

Everything about Starling is easy and simple. No hidden agendas, or fees! Constantly changing, constantly evolving. Never standing still. Market leader, for a very good reason. Leaves the competition in it’s wake. Well done Starling, keep on doing what you are doing! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

So impressed

From the seamless user experience of signing up and then using their system, to the clever features in their app, to the genuinely interesting, insightful and intelligent content they’ve produced for their site, I’ve been nothing but impressed with Starling. I can’t believe how ancient my former high street bank experience feels in comparison. I’m never looking back! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Flawless on line banking, made simple

Terrific product. I especially love our linked Euro account, which saves us time (and money) for our money needs when in Spain. Customer communication is also brilliant. I am so pleased we found Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Banking made simple

Love the clarity of the Starling approach. Love being with a bank that isn't complicit in supporting companies and countries that have no regard for equality, justice or our planet. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Visibility and control

Starling banks app gives a great real time interface for tracking spend and reviewing up coming payments. It makes you feel more in control of your money. Especially in a joint account. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
