Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Why aren't all banks like Starling?

Starling should be held as the standard for how every other bank should operate. Everything from set up to everyday banking is simple and straightforward, and their ethical stance is great too. What's not to love?! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Practical, modern banking

The app works brilliantly, I like the saving spaces and ease of use. I was particularly impressed by the ease of making an international payment. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Excellent bank

I have used Starling for my business originally and was sold on the bank, I then opened normal current accounts and a Euro account. During this time I have also recommended Starling to already 10 people who have all opened accounts and they love the Starling brand. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Great app

I had used online banking prior to switching to Starling but it had always been clunky. Starling shows how good it can be on a mobile device. I only wish I could do everything on a desktop too in case I lose my mobile. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Excellent Financial Services

Straightforward application online, which is then supported by an easy to use mobile banking application. You are kept updated via notifications of spending and transfers etc. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Quality stuff

Had them for a few years now, lots of travelling around the globe with fantastic results from Starling. Great for managing my money and keeping track!! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Account holder

Always good service and no problem with using my account. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Greatest bank ever for goals and travel!

I love Starling for the ability to create savings goals in spaces with pictures to motivate you to save for what you want. I've been using Starling for a few years now and have always used it for travel savings, but this past year have also started using it to save monthly for things like gifts for others, dental and opticians, and bigger house spends. This has really kept me on track and I have just bought some new glasses from one of my funds, rather than trying to find the money from elsewhere. I also love the fee free spending abroad (when we can travel again!) and love being able to track my spending immediately. Starling is definitely the best bank there is, and I feel like they actually care about me and my saving goals. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Great service

Having been with a high street bank for tens of years I love the freedom and flexibility of Starling! The thing I most appreciate is being able to use my card abroad without transaction fees. Great! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Very easy to use

This is how banking should be. The app is very easy to use, customer support is great. I can now easily make and receive payments in both Sterling and euro. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
