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

Simple, Easy access

Fantastic online service, easy to use services, simple and user friendly. Customer service m, should you need to call are friendly and super efficient! Highly recommend Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great customer service

Love the ease of use of the app. Transactions show up on my phone instantly and any time I've had to contact Starling Bank the query has been dealt with and any issues fixed as soon as they could be. So glad I switched from my old bank which I'd been with since I was 14(I'm now nearly 50) Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

An excellent all round account

Starling is so user-friendly, it surprises me (in a good way) every time I use it! Sending notifications as soon as you've completed transactions; adjusting balance immediately afterwards; instant transfers; great exchange rates; brilliant for using abroad... The list goes on. I thoroughly recommend Starling whenever I can. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The perfect account for everybody

The Starling peronal account is great for travellers, easy to use and no additional charges imposed when you use your debit card in shops (and ATMs for cash withdrawals), worldwide. The push notifications are great too, everytime a transaction takes place on your account, a message will be sent to your mobile phone app so you always know what's happening, wherever in the world you are. I also find the inpayment of cheques very handy, so simple to do and no need to leave your home. Lastly for making foreign payments Starling is the bank to use, with most banks the transaction fees are in tens of pounds, with Starling the fees can be less than a pound. I really cannot recommend Starling highly enough. Several of my family and friends have listened to my message and have opened a Starling account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Modern Smooth Experience

I can easily keep track of my spend and the functionality of the app is really helpful in managing my funds. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Overseas Account of choice

I opened this account to cater for a military tour in the Middle East. From start to finish Starling have met ever challenge, and have been the best choice of bank I could have made. Many of my colleagues now wish they had chosen Starling. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
