It works!

No problems creating accounts(9). Nice to have a Euro account and a card to use abroad. The App works and it even snowed! Would recommend this bank to anyone. Reviewed on: 24th January 2021

Starling Bank Current Account

5
Moved to Starling Bank in 2018 and haven’t looked back since. Customer service has been spot on when I’ve needed to contact them. The app on the phone is great and I love the notifications you get when a transaction takes place so you know exactly when and where things have happened. Compared to my old account, my Starling account gives me so much more control over my money. If you’re looking to move your current account, this is one you need to check out.

Savings pots and goals

5
I've really enjoyed using the Starling Banking App for a few years now. I love the customisable savings goals in particular, as having lots of pots is a great visual to keep me focused. I recently used the customer savings chat and had a great experience. Reviewed on: 24th January 2021

Smart, Fast, Accessible

5
My initial motivation for a Starling account was based on currency in that i was able to use my card abroad without feeling the same pain that i am accustomed to with other banks (all those extra charges) i then realised that it was a great way that i could segment different 'pots' and instantly manage my money in a way that it is all on the palm of my hand ... the App rocks, cant imagine being without Starling now.

Everything is made simple

I use my starling account to keep track of my everyday day spending. It’s great now we are all cashless. Reviewed on: 24th January 2021

Great bank

5
I’ve been with Starling for 4 years now after having current accounts with other High St banks and I can honestly say Starling is by far the best! The app is forward thinking and makes managing your money a whole lot easier. Couldn’t recommend Starling enough! Reviewed on: 24th January 2021

Starling makes banking a breeze

5
Everything is intuitive and fast in Starling's app. I'm always able to log in fast and complete what I need to do in a matter of seconds. I can't imagine ever going to back to a high-street bank with their clunky, fiddly, poorly designed apps. Reviewed on: 24th January 2021

Simple starling

Does everything brilliantly simply Reviewed on: 24th January 2021
