Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Absolutely effortless banking

Superb online bank with the choice to save directly from your current account. Keeps you upto date on card transactions. You can pay in cash at a Post Office or cheques through the App. So easy, efficient and effortless banking. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Super Easy

Starting have been great since I joined. Very easy to set up and get my account up and running. Couldn’t ask for an easier bank. The app is very straightforward to use and very easy to request money from others which is great for sharing bills etc. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best online bank ever

So easy to use and simplicity in itself, setting up savings for various purposes and being able to get access to a loan for larger purchases immediately has been fantastic from day one to now! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant!

Cannot speak highly enough of Starling. it's so easy and simple to use, signing up was done in no time at all and any time i've needed customer services they have been wonderful! it's a breath of fresh air compaired to some of the other banks i've been with in the past.

Best Bank

Smooth online balance transfers, easy to use app, efficient transactions, no quibble! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best Banking Experience

I love how easy it is to bank with Starling. I like the convenience of being able to pay in cash at the Post Office as they are everywhere. I like i get interest on my current account balance. Most of all when we travel (I know we haven't for awhile with Covid restrictions) paying using the card or withdrawing money in another currency has no fees, just a straight transfer of currency value straight out of your account balance. Saves carrying cash or changing to much or not enough money before you go away. The app is great and has lots of features. No fees and no nonsense. Just a really good bank!

Perfect

What more could a girl want Simple, sharp, sassy banking Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent service

Since opening my account I have found the service to be most excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend this bank to everyone. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Efficient, friendly, modern banking

Everything about Starling feels customer-first, from the simplicity of opening an account, to the packaging of the card (which was dare I say it - fun to open!), to the ease of contacting customer support, and the frictionless way in which I can control my cards, payments and spending. That's without even mentioning the features of the financial product! Zero percent on spending abroad has been revolutionary for me! I never hesitate to recommend Starling to everyone and anyone - I've switched around a lot of banks in the past 5 years, and Starling is head and shoulders above the rest. This is what modern banking should be. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great features

The app itself is really all you need from opening your account to managing your money. I love the 24/7 customer service though which is available through message. They reply instantly, its more like a chat function and have always answered my query. I was looking to find a child account, but they don't do one hence I couldn't find it. The FAQ section is extensive. I love how easy the app is to use and how everything is in one place. Just a click and its there. Best account I've ever used by far. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
