Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

5
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

The perfect banking service

5
Starling provides a service that just works. I have an app from a large bank as well, but it's far less user focused. Since I've been with Starling, I've felt much more in control. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Simple, efficient, updated

5
Glad to see a company which values the user experience. You have notifications when you need it, not when you don't want to have ones. You can do everything easily, that's the best experience with a current account I've ever had. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

The best so far

5
Just in love with the Starling App, after being using Lloyds Bank for many years, it seems amazing to me, compared. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

A perfect bank during these times

5
Starling have just got better and better and have saved me money. Cheap currency payments set then adjust from high Street banks meaning online shopping is better. The app is updated regularly and the ability to pay cheques in through a photo is ideal. The function of spaces to set up mini accounts in your account is really useful. Great bank Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Top Banking Service

I've been using Starling for over two years now and have found them to be first class - in times like these, having your bank literally in your pocket is a godsend... Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Makes life easier

Being Starling customer since they on the market and I would say they always make improvements in every single way. I used my card a lot abroad and I never had any issues. I really like I have full control over my spendings / savings. For me is a no brainier to stay with Starling! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Amazing

Never found it so easy to manage my money and save! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Everyone should have a Starling Account !!

5
The perfect account for anyone traveling abroad and quite possibly the best Banking App out there - instant notifications on every transaction bring security and peace of mind Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Great features

5
You let me open my account when my ex bank(I have banked with them for 40 years) refused to let me have a current account as my credit score wasn't high enough, thank you for doing in a week what they wouldn't do after 40 years Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Best bank
