Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

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

Quick and efficient

The notification of payments in or out is great. My salary hits my account just after midnight on payday. This has not been the case with a well-known high street bank. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Brilliant Bank

Straightforward and easy to use. Setting up an account is the matter of minutes. Spaces make it a doddle to save, and the app is a great way of keeping an eye on your spending. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Quick and easy banking

Starling bank has busted the myths around banking and is the first truly user friendly bank I’ve encountered. I get real joy from seeing my savings spaces grow- which is a new experience for me- and I always feel like I’m in control of my money. Other banks could learn a lot from Starling! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Helpful and reliable

In all the time I have been with then they have been professional at all times Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Great intuitive app and services

I’ve had a current account with Starting Bank for 4 months now and I must say I’m very happy with it. The app is modern, intuitive and easy to navigate in. The most common current transactions are quite easy to deal with. Notifications are always on top, keeping you up to date with your payments. Information is clear. And the possibility to access your account on a PC/laptop is also a big advantage. Security seems quite strong as well. Customer service is good. The available chat works just fine. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Best bank ever

Simple. Great customer service. All around good service Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

The Bank for Real people

Starling is just a 'Real Bank'. Pure and Simple and very good at doing what a Bank should do. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Exceeds expectations

This account does everything you want with the bonus of extra features that are brilliant but you did not even know you wanted. I recommend this bank regularly. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Modern banking for a modern world

Starling bank is innovative and easy to use. I switched 2 years ago from a standard high street bank and I've never looked back. Absolutely love starling Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

My kind of bank

I love their no nonsense practical approach to setting up an account. They inform you clearly what's available, how to organize your account in a non bank, more user friendly way. You feel like you are in control at all times, purchases appear immediately on my phone, so I know exactly what's going on. They're great. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
