Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Clear, easy, modern

5
I just want my bank account to do simple things - and make more complicated things seem simple. I love the fact that I can divide my money off into untouchable strands for savings, and i love the fact I can pay out money so quickly and easily - it's such a rigmarole with that stupid little card reader in my other bank. Really good service. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

I've been banking with Starling for about a year now and I love how simple things are on the app. Setting up spaces has really helped me to organise saving for a variety of purchases and reasons. I'd happily recommend Starling to anyone and already have. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Within days of opening my account with Starling, I recommended it to four friends, and continue to do so. Easiest account ever to open, but still with the service, security and reliability needed. Put simply, love it! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
