Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Banking for the 21st century

I was a Smile customer. Online banking suited me. But Smile never progressed their offering and it's horribly outdated now. Then Starling. Simple sign up and switch. Great visibility of my money. Instant notifications of money in and out. And the 'spaces' - effectively ringfenced savings pots - are so easy to use why would I ever want a separate savings account ever again. Starling is the banking experience for now, not 20 years ago. Reviewed on: 24th January 2021

The 21st Century bank!

I opened an account with Sterling Bank as I had been searching for a bank that I could use when I visited Spain, which I do quite often. I just needed a banking card that I could use, just like I do in the UK, without thinking about conversions/rates or having to tell the bank when I was out of the country etc. So basically I was looking for hassle-free banking. It's my money, so why am I always made to feel as if the bank are doing me a favour? As well as a completely transparent UK account I also have the added benefit of a European account. No more worries about conversion etc. If I want to pay using euros I pay in euros direct from my Euro account. I can do almost instant transfers between accounts, so again no worries about delays in transferring of funds. I cannot recommend Starling Bank enough. Seriously the rest of the banking industry needs to fast forward out of the 19th and realise the 21st Century is here! Reviewed on: 24th January 2021

Great modern bank with good ethics

I wanted a new bank with good ethics and Starling had been recommended. I’m so glad I make the change, which was quick and easy to do, and it is so easy to understand my money through the app. Reviewed on: 24th January 2021

Very happy customer

I started using Starling as a secondary account and very quickly changed it to my primary. The functionality and how it helps me better view and organise my finance is brilliant. I've had no issue communicating with a Starling rep when I've needed one. I look forward to seeing how Starling continues to improve their products. Reviewed on: 24th January 2021
