Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Top rated bank

Everything is so simple and easy to navigate and use, it is what I need in this day and age, a bank that can keep up with my lifestyle. I love how it tells me instantly what i have spent money one, it makes it so easy to keep a check on my spending without looking up bank statements. The ease I can switch money into the savings and bank again is brilliant. I needed to contact customer service for a query, it was dealt with fast and efficiently. I LOVE this bank Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant

With the option to have savings located to individual items it’s the first time I’ve been properly been able to save normally I have savings boxes at home but with this I can see where I am an how much more I need to do The app is very easy to use and I like that you can move money around easily if things change Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great product!

This is such a simple, innovative and effective app. Makes money management a pleasure! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Leading the way

It says a lot when all the other banks that I’m with have been frantically adding the features that Starling has had from day 1. It’s a brilliant bank. Never had any issues with them and have recommended them to many friends and family. My only gripe is that the physical card marks very easily so looks quite dirty after a year in my wallet. App works fantastically. I feel that my money is secure and I love the instant push notifications when I spend money Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

No clutter no gimmicks

The easiest account opening process, especially great convenience during the Pandemic. It shines out as an example setting bank for everyone to learn from. Doesn’t have too many gimmicky features or perks. Just works, instant, transparent and swift. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Love Starling

it does what you need it to do, simply and quicker than most Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

What more could you want

I opened my Starling account due to going on holiday (back when we could) and they offered no fees when spending abroad, but I have truly found it the best account I have, simple and easy to use, efficient and focused on customer satisfaction, I have recommended widely, and now wouldn’t go back to any other bank! I have a children’s Kite account as well which my daughter loves. Well done Starling, restored my faith in the banking industry. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Quick and easy app

Can’t wait to use it more with my new source of income Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Other Banks beware

The quality of the products offered, the quality of the service offered (online or on the phone) is way and beyond any of the high street banks that I have had an experience of. Keep up the great work Starling. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brings banking into the current century!

I love the app, it's simple and intuitive, gone are the days when you made a transaction, and waited days or a week to see it appear, all the while wondering if it actually went through, Starling is instantaneous, and you are alerted on your phone, it's the way banking should be.
