Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Helpful modern banking

Despite being entirely online Dtarling Bank still manage that personal touch. Their help desk is easy to access and account facilities are easy to access. Highly recommended Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Starling bank is the only bank I need. Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Great innovative bank

Love being a Starling customer. App is so easy to use, you get incredit interest, super easy transactions and carefree banking. Just what I want from a bank. Thank you. Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Great online bank

It is my first time that i use a online bank and believe me it’s a wonderful experience. Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

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
