Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

From loads of old accounts to Starling Spaces...

We had a number of old accounts in our other main bank. Rather than having to manage all the different payments in and out of the five accounts we switched it all to Starling using their Spaces facility to create 'sub accounts' whcih gave us a single view and easy management of our monthly finances.

Starling and my security

Started banking with Starling last year and get alerts when money is taken from my account. Up to date with my balance and great help if any suspicious events occur. I was given notice of a withdrawal that was fraudulent and Starling helped me block the intruder Reviewed on: 19th May 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Patricia, customer service is always important to us too! We're happy to hear our team have been a great help. Team Starling Response date: 20th May 2024

Simply great banking with Starling

Simply great bank which was recommended to me and which I recommended to a couple of friends who are using it as well. Love the various saving options, great exchange rates with no additional charges, the speed or money transfers, the fact I can add notes to some transactions which is useful when abroad to recognise them later. There are so many features, some of which I don't use yet/still. Standard banks have a lot of catching up to do to become as flexible and friendly in terms of managing banking via application! Reviewed on: 9th May 2024

Reply from Starling Bank A big thanks to who recommended you to us. We're really happy you're enjoying using your account and it's helping you manage your money. Thanks for recommending us to your friends. We appreciate you! Team Starling Response date: 10th May 2024

Avoid Starling for these reasons...

this bank will constantly freeze your account and ask you where your money if from. the daily cash withdraw limit is also very low and cannot be changed. doesnt seem like a serious bank to me Reviewed on: 4th May 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Jake. We're sorry to see you've had a negative experience with us. As a regulated bank we will sometimes check a payment for the safety and security of the account. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Team Starling Response date: 7th May 2024
