Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Highly recommended

From the very straightforward set up of the account, to the extremely useful app and notifications, everything about the Starling experience has been top rate. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Amazing experiences with Starling Bank

Starling have been first class since the moment I used the current account switch guarantee. The app is very user-friendly, has high performance and you can see it is unique to other traditional banking apps. As a UX enthusiast myself, I couldn't think of anyway that it could be improved for my own personal experience. The times when I have needed to speak on live chat (which is not very often) I have received excellent customer service and my enquiry has always been resolved at first point of contact.

Easy and smart!

Connected cards are very useful. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Banking as it should be.

So informative in use - purchases instantly register on your phone, upcoming payments are flagged in advance, transferring money to and from Places is simplicity itself! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent

Amazing app easy to use

Good for all family members including kids Wise you all the best in 2021. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Personal and Joint Account

Opened a joint account with my partner when we began renting together this year... was so straightforward I couldn't believe it! The app is so much more intuitive and user-friendly compared to other banking apps I've used, and there are so many more useful features too. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A great no hassle bank

They still pay some interest. The app is slick and easy to use. The Spaces functionality is brilliant. They have a very fair overdraft function. It’s easy to set up new payees. They have what must be market beating foreign exchange rates so I can send a few quid to my nephews overseas. I really, really rate this bank on everything they do. Well done Starling!

love the immediate response

As soon as i make a transaction it sends me a message to say I have paid or received. It is instant. I like the way the mobile pap works and the way it looks. It divides purchases into types but if I don't agree I can change it. It is fab. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
