Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Once great now terrible

I was really pleased with starting bank but since they will remove interest payments from their current account next year it's now no different from any other bank account. The spaces were super helpful but now you won't earn interest they might be helpful for in month spending but not saving. You can have a single easy saver but you'd need to lump savings together. As I understand it, the kite account also won't earn interest so again less attractive for a kids account as one of the key lessons or to encourage them to save and earn interest. The app is fine - some bits I don't get on with eg not having a running balance summary (it's just the transactions and a current balance) but it was liveable. With the changes it's made a great bank account option now defunct. Reviewed on: 22nd December 2024

Go with Starling

I opened a Starling account a couple of years ago when I became unhappy with my original bank. Love the app, clean easy to use, informative, I can keep a track on all my spending and credits. Transferring between accounts and paying bills all so easy. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

Just moved to Starting this year and absolutely love it. Wish I had discovered it earlier. Makes it so easy to track, save and use my money. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

Very good

Very good for large value payments from both pound and euro accounts. I like the fact that both credits and payments are time stamped in the transaction lists. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024
