Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Literally recommended to my sister

Excellent customer service, great app UI, nice card, really happy with this bank so far after 2 years! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Banking that just works how you want it to

Starling seems to have thought of everything. Their app is just so straightforward, gets out of your way and lets me quickly do the things I want with my bank account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Ethical, modern, technologically progressive

Switched over to Starling at the beginning of last year. Have found it to be reliable and for notifications, payments, refunds, etc to come through instantly. The advanced notification of incoming payments (salary) and outgoing debit orders, as well as information about which debit orders are registered on your account (the very moment they get linked to your account) is spectacular. It's also one of Ethical Consumer's highest-rated banks for ethics. Anne Boden and her team have done an incredible job with Starling and I look forward to seeing what more they do. A credit card facility and overdraft would be nice on Joint Accounts--for now it seems that Joint Accounts aren't treated as primary accounts for couples but rather as a separate account shared by couples. All the same, it's a fantastic bank and one I'm happy to have switched over to. Just wish we could switch our credit card over, too. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent

Easy to use app. No fee debit card on use overseas. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

New thinking

Easy transactions Efficient and prompt notification of action. Better rate of interest please! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The best functionality of any bank by far

Banking with Starling is like upgrading from candles to electric light. Honestly, why wouldn’t you? Haven’t we all got enough in our plates just now? Do it. Switch today. You won’t regret it. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So easy - so safe

It is the way your phone pings as every transaction is triggered. You feel really in control. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Handy Telephone Banking App

Easy to use, low hassle setting up, has the features that you actually want and use. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Convenient and simple

I was nervous about opening a internet based bank. However after doing my research as I was looking at going for a holiday abroad I choose Starling and haven’t looked back. Setting up and opening the account was simple and straightforward without the need to spend hours in an appointment. Card arrived promptly and it is nice to also earn interest on your current account even if rates have dropped very low at the moment. Third party additions are also a real bonus and being able to get so much all out of one app with options for investments, spending perks, pensions and so much more. Really recommended. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Made for the Modern Man!

A bank that's innovative, contemporary and exceeding all my expectations. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
