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

Never have any issues

5
One of the few banks still paying out interest and really makes banking easy. Have moved my business and euro account to them. Also set up a joint too! Very easy to have all in one app. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Excellent Bank! Can't fault Starling!

5
Starling is my secondary bank but with the instant spending alerts and ease of usability, I'm seriously thinking about making it my primary one. The only things that are stopping me at the moment is that I have built-in phone, travel & breakdown cover and a credit card with my current bank. If Starling were to offer these, I would make the switch. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Modern & efficient

5
I love the fact that when I draw money abroad, details of the converted transaction arrives by text before the money gets put in my wallet. This is a great security check. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Makes managing money fun

5
The Starling app revolutionised how people manage their money. Every transaction is simple and seamless, from the account opening through to budgeting and automated saving. Their support is also topnotch. Everything is just easier with them and you get everything done without having to call anyone. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Simple, easy & fast

5
All my interactions with Starling are through the app. The information, style and layout are easy to navigate and simple to use. Transactions are instant and instantly keep me informed. A bank for modern times. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Very user friendly

5
I switched to Starling a couple of years ago and haven’t looked back since. The app is intuitive, user-friendly and full of useful features. Customer service is efficient and fast and paying in cheques and cash is fast and easy. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Making money management easy

5
Starling makes money management extremely easy. The app is easy to use and I also love the new web UI. I have only had to reach out to customer services a few time but every time my query was resolved quickly. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Excellent banking app

5
Recently switched and I'm simply stoned by the wonderful intuitive app. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Glad I switched

5
After being with a high street bank for ever and deciding that I wasn’t really benefitting from the ‘benefits’ and I reality weren’t benefits as I was paying for them by way of monthly fee and quite steeply in comparison with what was on offer, I made the switch - the best thing I did - service, app useability and saved me money. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Best choice I ever made

5
Switching to Starling Bank was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. Great account. Dead easy way to put money into my savings pot. Saving the pennies is great and the app is so easy to use. I’ve never been happier with an account. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
