Current Account

5
Easy to open the account, easy to manage, opened a kite account for my daughter (15) love being able to see what she has, where she’s spending & being able to just pop onto the app and change her spending allowances as needed. Have several savings spaces open, one for Christmas and 1 each for each of my kids as just in case money, starting to put a little away for them each month starting in January. The app is so easy to use, all my spaces are there to see in one place and moving money into them is a breeze. And it’s only £2 a month for daughters account, she’s learning to get to grips with using a debit card & I’m not being charged a small fortune for the privilege. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

No fuss bank account

Having moved over from one of the larger high street banks about a year ago has been a decision I would recommend everyone takes. Thank you Starling for giving us the opportunity live a simple banking lifestyle. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

I have use mainstream banks for 50 years, not any more

5
I have used a leading High Street bank since I was 20. My son introduced me to Starling, I love it. No hassle to set up, the alerts on my phone are fantastic and the card is accepted everywhere. The interest helps and I at last feel in control of my day to day spending. When I traveled abroad I felt confident that I would not get home to find my saving looted. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

All Banks Will Look Like Starling in the Future

I've been with Starling bank for 3 years now. It's been quite simply an amazing experience and the mobile app is a real joy to use. Other banks are complete dinosaurs compared to Starling. This is the future of banking and the app is an example for all others to aspire to. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great customer focused bank

Starling has been a joy to back with from day one. An easy application process, a great app, and so customer focused. If they handled client accounts, I'd move my business account to them tomorrow. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
