Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Brilliant banking experience.

Brilliant banking experience. I can budget so much better now. Easy, safe... Can't fault it. I expect some customers might miss the cheque facility but personally it's a great bank and so pleased I switched 2 years ago, having heard the founder tell her story on the radio.

Nothing spectacular - just how a bank should be.

Makes it very easy to budget, categories spending. You get a message of money due to be paid before it's paid. There is no charge for foreign currency transactions. It works in situations abroad where other cards can have problems like topping up a Paris travel card or for ticketless travel on Dutchtrains. It provides virtual cards, I have a card for online or overseas transactions that I only top up for known spending so if anything goes wrong the the card can be easily cancelled and only small sums could be withdrawn. Both a problem and a blessing is that credit cards are not available, you have to be able to cover your spending from your current account. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

Starling is simply the best...

As an ex-banker with over 30 years experience, I can say that this is by far and away the best current account service I've ever seen. This is made even better because we can transfer £ & € in seconds by using the parallel accounts capability. Its an excellent service, so simple to use, with all the information you need at the touch of a button Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

It’s different and better

My previous dis-connected experience with 3 other well known banks took my towards Starling. Although, my account is small, I’ve felt I’ve had information available to me at a finger tip, support when some problems arises, and most important I now don’t have to hurdle many obstacles to speak to someone.

Excellent bank

Really like the app and speed with which it updates. Spaces is a great feature that makes it a lot easier to keep track of savings and coupled with Round ups ,ages it easy to tuck money away. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

The Starling App is excellent!

The Starling App is excellent, I can easily see what I have in my accounts, easily make payments to existing and new payees, and I get an immediate notification every time time I spend. It is also excellent for overseas payments, showing within a few minutes what I have spent in local currency and the amount in GBP and the exchange rate is good. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

Starling is a star

No issues & feels very secure. Used abroad without a problem. Love the “spaces” for help with dividing money & not overspending. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024
