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

Easy to use

Starling has a very user-friendly and smooth working app, no issues so far. The account creation process is also quick and efficient. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Excellent banking solution

All good switching and very reliable service. Well done Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Simple and Excellent

Having banked for nearly three decades with one of the smaller high street banks (not one of the big 5) I took the plunge in early 2020 and opened a Starling account for my personal spending, and it has been a revelation. So much simpler to keep everything in order, so much more immediate, without having to wait days to check the balance shown online is not still waiting for some payments to be accounted for, and a simple method for putting regular small amounts of money aside to save for specific purposes (already organised myself enough to buy a new bike). Cannot recommend their service, and app highly enough ... to the extent that it is only a matter of time before my main current account also moves over to Starling. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Top notch bank

Excellent experience with starling, I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for the best bank. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Fab account, easy navigation & reliable.

I really like my starling account, the ease of use & ability to request payments is good. The app is easy to navigate & no nonsense. I'm going to look at a kite account for my child too. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

The Bird Bank (Starling)

Excellent service through the app. Had a problem with transferring funds while away from home. In the end had to phone Starling. Answered quickly and the problem was solved very easily. Good work. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Fantastic, user-friendly bank

Fantastic banking experience with Starling. User friendly app, efficient transfers, the spaces functionality has revolutions my budgeting and my life! This is a bank for the people! Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Easy transparent, no nonsense banking

The ease and rapid access to my balance and spending provides my banking needs fully. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Simple and easy

App is a joy to use and customer services are always very helpful when I need to speak to them Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Easy to manage money and save

Having the Spaces feature in the app has helped me properly save for the first time. The money is 'hidden' from sight so I'm not tempted to spend. In the last year I've managed to save £10k and ot touch any of it. I also like how easy it is to get others to pay you by sending a payment request link from the app to WhatsApp etc. Finally, on the few occasions I've had to contact customer services, they have always been helpful and really offer a good service.
