Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

From loads of old accounts to Starling Spaces...

We had a number of old accounts in our other main bank. Rather than having to manage all the different payments in and out of the five accounts we switched it all to Starling using their Spaces facility to create 'sub accounts' whcih gave us a single view and easy management of our monthly finances.

The Best things in life are the best designed

The whole experience of using Starling as my daily bank account is summed up by my non-existent complains with it. It does everything right. The regular updates are more than welcome. There are no gimmicks and its without doubt the front runner of new age banking options. Their new increase in interest is a good add-on. Reviewed on: 24th March 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Sashank, We're thrilled to hear that! We work hard to do the right thing, and it means a lot to know that we're doing it right by our customers.

A great bank with a strong focus on ethics and values.

I've been using Starling for over a year now and am incredibly impressed with the service that it provides. I'm also really impressed that they have achieved this whilst maintaining a good set of values and ethics, and would strongly recommend them as a bnk. My only minor grips are a) it's not possible to buy crypto by transferring to exchanges such as Coinbase b) they could be even more ethical and do even more good in the world like banks such as Triodos.

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Jens, Thank you so much for the fantastic feedback and being a loyal customer. While we work hard to do the right thing and be the best bank for our customers, we're always aiming for greatness, and we're thrilled to have you along the way. At Starling, we constantly review our position regarding financial crime, and we continue to consider crypto activity to be high-risk. We hope this helps. Again, thanks so much for sharing your feedback with us. Team Starling. Response date: 24th March 2024

The banking app is just perfect, to include paying cheques in without having to post them off. I can do everything I need, very easily & never need to call anyone. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2024

Have been very pleased from the start with Starling, in terms of ease of setup, and then ease of use and value for money. Had to lodge a cheque recently (motor tax refund), and it was absolutely painless via app (took photos of cheque, and didn't need to waste time on postage). Reviewed on: 22nd March 2024
