Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Easy

Banking made easy, easy to use app, easy transactions, great customer service Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Instant

Fast response to questions. Instant notices when the card is used. App simple and manageable Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A little bit more

I wanted a bank that would support IoT payments and found I was getting transaction notifications and interest payments. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Straight forward banking

It is an absolute joy to log on to my account and just see my account details and nothing else. No adverts, no nonsense. The app is really easy to use and it is really easy to navigate. I love the ‘Merchant’ feature, sometimes a quick reminder what you spent and where without trawling through a statement.... easy and brilliant. But so far the quick alerts on online spending are really reassuring. You get a notification for small amounts but larger ones require just a quick check on the app and your payments are made safely...... so easy...... well done Starling...... at last banking made easy. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy, quick and informative

Immediate response when I make purchases online. Useful analysis of monthly spending without having to search for the information. So easy to pay in cheques after years of carrying them round in my bag for weeks unable to get to the bank. I like it. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The future of banking

Joined up at the start and recognised that they were special. I hope around all the other banks, just to get the switching deals, but I am never leaving Starling. Their customer service is true service and their app and banking practices are spot on. Fantastic. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Just brilliant!

Have moved both personal and joint accounts to Starling over the last eight months or so after being educated on ethical banking by my 17 year old. A joy to use (must be getting old)! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Bank of the future

I have never taken the time to review a bank before but I must give credit where it's due: Starling is excellent. Easy set up and super quick turn around on approving my proof of indentity. The app is so user friendly, I love the spaces feature - it's really helping me to manage my money better. My teenage daughter now has her first account with Starling, too. We used the switch facility to move from our old account, not a single hitch along the way. It has revolutionised banking for us as a family! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A bank for the people

I have never had a bank account before that has kept me informed like Starling does. Starling also realises that it is my money and allow me easy access on demand. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Fabulous Overall Experience

Incredibly easy to manage my finances. An app after years of trying other banks which actually works! Thank you Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
