Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Brilliant!

The things we love the most that have saved us money and given us flexibility in controlling our finances is to have both euro and sterling accounts, especially as we have a property in Spain. Life is so much easier, converting GBP to euros can be done when the rate is right and it's instant. Our second point benefits us as we travel a lot outside the UK so to just use our Starling card to pay for ferries and accommodation in Thailand - and without overseas charges - it is as easy as using a card in the UK. We wouldn't be without Starling! Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Brilliant Bank

I was useless with money management before I had starling, I love having spaces within my account to make saving even easier, without many accounts to juggle. I used to be overdrawn every month, but I haven’t been overdrawn once, since switching! Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Banking made easy all over the world

As a starling customer, being stuck in NZ during the pandemic meant I could access my money with no fees and no stress. So grateful! Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Just love this app

Discovering mobile banking apps, in particular Starling, has changed the way I manage my money and helped me immeasurably in terms of setting and achieving savings goals. Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Starling

Just works, no hassle, nothing unexpected happens... what you want from a modern bank really! Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Two great features, and one disappointment

The 'Spaces' connected card is a great idea, with reassuring safeguards, and it has proved very useful for me to enable a trusted neighbour to do most of my grocery shopping. Just one disappointment with Starling, when I found my card was not accepted in cash machines, many shops and restaurants in New Zealand in January/February 2020. Apart from that, its fee-free spend and cash withdrawals abroad are better than what most other cards provide. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

UK and Euro Accounts

So simple to set up and to manage our finances in the UK and in Spain. The App is clear and user friendly. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

really great bank

opened bank account last year, had a few problems, with opening, but the staff on the helpline were terrific and very helpful, and kind. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Best consumer bank account by miles

Starling make things easy. The app is slick, the customer service is great. Why did they not appear 10 years ago. Why anyone would want to go to a high street bank now Starling exists is a mystery. Keep doing what you are doing Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

A breath of fresh air

A straight forward easy to use banking system. No gobbledygook. good fresh modern ideas and soooo easy to navigate. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021
