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

Brilliant all round bank

A brilliant app based bank. It's great for travelling (back in the old days) with no fee's, MasterCard rates and much higher withdrawal limits than competitors. It has saved me hundreds just on daily transactions whilst abroad. And that was all I used to use my Starling account for, but since TSB started closing banks everywhere, I made Starling my full time current account. The switch was painless. And now I use it daily. I love that everything is available in-app. And using the 'round up' function, which will round up each spend you make to the next £1 and put that in a separate account. You can set this to just round it up 1x, or in multiples. So it's a nice way of saving loose change without realising. I currently have it set at 5x. Which means if I get a McCoffee for £1.19, £4.05 will get added to my 'Loose change' space that I have set up. Brilliant. It also has the ability in-app to lock or unlock Ur card and many other features that I don't really use. I did cover a few more perks on my trust pilot review. But all in all, I couldn't be happier. I just hope they don't ruin it in the future by adding fee's or selling to a huge corporate bank, who will just sabotage all the goodness Starling have done. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Amazing

Love love love ❤️ Transforming the way we bank. No hassle, easy to use and the card is pretty!! Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Refreshingly Current

Starling banking has been a breath of fresh air in a world of outdated banking apps that haven’t yet caught up with the needs of the population in 2021. The spaces function in the banking app has revolutionised our spending and transformed my family’s finances as we have much more visible control over our spending and saving. We love many other features of the app too, including being able to pay cheques in via the app (very handy in a lockdown). Starling is modern, ethical, innovative banking and we love it!

Best bank

So convenient for transferring money, using nearby payments. Layout very easy to use with so much information in one place. This is the bank I use the most. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Easy and hassle free. Highly recommended!

Starling bank has been easy to use since first downloading the app. My partner and I are saving to move home so we easily were able to set up the joint account feature, whilst still having individual current accounts to be able to spend with. Eventually we will consider switching out main current accounts to Starling. The process of setting up an account was so easy and straight forward and the accounts come with many great features. So far I haven’t even had to contact customer services as everything in the app is so self explanatory. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021
