Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Great hassle free banking

5
Always accessible and informative hassle free current account banking 24/7 Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple, reliable banking, with excellent customer service

5
I couldn't be happier about making the switch to Starling a couple of years ago, after several years of increasing frustration with the antiquated bureaucracy of Nationwide. Starling works just as a bank should do, providing simple and easy-to-use services. On the rare occasions I have needed to contact their customer support team, I have been able to get through to talk to someone almost immediately, and they have resolved my query very quickly. Definitely recommended. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

This bank is a complete life saver and time I was with one of the big banks before Starling and all I'll say is I'll never move back to mainstream banks again Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Perfect card for me

5
I love this card as I travel a lot and send money abroad, so this card is perfect for this as I don't pay any extra fees and it's super simple. I also love to use the spaces function, it makes saving up for small goals easy and fun. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Stress-Free banking

5
Efficient, clear and simple - every one should flock to this bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Does what I need with the minimal of fuss

5
Has the vast majority of the features I need and want. Only criticism would be the (understandable given the current economical climate) interest rate changes on in credit bank balances. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
