Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

I have had an account for a couple years and I have watched other banks fade away. When I joined Starling, I signed up through the application on my phone. It was very easy. I confirmed my identity online, with somethey help me via live chat. I can upload cheques to my account. When I am a little out of pocket, I find a few spare pennies that have been automatically saved for me with each purchase. Starling is progressive and targets the current age and that is wonderful. Older people seem to get left behind in the times. This encourages them to adapt and embrace them. It welcomes them into the new age. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Easy to use and great customer service.

Starling has been a pleasure to use since I first signed up. Responsive customer service and easy to navigate. It would be great if there was a desktop version of the app as looking though things on a phone screen isnt always ideal, and sometimes the livevcustomer service wait is a little long however these are small annoyances compared to all of the other brilliant features.

Great

Everything they do, smoothness of the app, exceptional Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Does exactly what I need

I have somewhere to put my money. I feel it is safe there. I have multiple ways to contact someone, whether it be urgent or just a general question. I have the ability to request money from anyone, anywhere, without having to send out my bank details. The app notifies me of all transactions, usually as they happen. I don't have a complaint - I think all of this is just great. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Easy efficient and better than high street

Easy to use, great app, great functionality. Won’t go back to a high street bank. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Worry-free banking

Delightful app, can do so much on it. I spend a lot of time in Europe and the contactless EUR card is great, it knows when a transaction is denominated in euros and will take the money from your euro account. Topping up the EUR account from GBP is easy and offers a great FX rate Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Putting the Customer First

Clear speaking intelligent call centre staff. Excellent assistance with higher value transactions when needed. Vastly superior phone app. and connectivity. Cannot recommend highly enough compared to the “big” mainstream banks. Thankyou Starling! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Excellent Bank

Super easy to set up, transactions run smoothly, easy to use, just simply easy Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Just what the world needed

Starling is a modern platform to save and spend, from a decent interest rates in the current account (given the market) to fee free spending abroad, Starling has your back, and I look forward to banking with Starling into the future. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Excellent all round!

I initially got a Starling account to use for foreign currency, I was so impressed that within three months I started using it as my main current account and now I have my business account with Starling too. I love the spaces, in my personal account I use it for saving towards Christmas and holidays, and in my business account I use them for VAT and corporation tax liabilities and keeping track of my directors loan amounts. I have recommended Starling to a number of friends and they love it too. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
