Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

I have never been to call them

Their tech is super. Who needs people or branches? I can do everything I need on my app.. even do low cost currency conversion. I wish there were more financiall rewards/incentives as I don't value the marketplace they offer but still.. I get seamless personal banking. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Instant banking

I have a couple accounts with different banks but nothing compares to Starling. Everything is instant and pings straight to your phone. We're in an age where our phones are always by our sides so if there's ever a problem with my bank or a transaction has been made, I will know, instantly. Opened an account so my partner and I could have a joint account and it's made things easier and quicker without worry! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Basics (and more) done brilliantly

First class app, great additional features like certified statements and account confirmation letters. Everything I need from my primary bank without having to wait for responses or missed callbacks, and no need to go into a branch. Can't fault them. Would love savings products soon, but spaces will do for now. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great response time

Great customer service, and information every time I spend money Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The best digital bank

It was super easy to install, I received my card in just a few days. I like the options to save money and organise them as you wish. It helped me a lot to start saving money. They also have the best customer service. Thank you for your hard work! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best Bank

Fast to open app, fast customer response, gick alert of balance, easy to use bank Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent all round Bank

So joined the bank as my second bank, mainly to start with how fast cheques were processed without leaving my home. Customer services are very good too, answer questions quickly. I have to be honest, there are a couple of things I personally don’t like. Finding balances and the actual main screen is a little confusing, too much navigating compared to be being simple. There is a lot of clicking around. I think this needs looking at. Also when changing mobile phone numbers, I needed to do face recognition and a video. Did this twice, and did not work.... so my old number still showing. This was tried on an iPad. This is just a couple of issues from my end that needs a bit of juggling. Other than that, Starling are one of the best, if not the best online banking app. Very futuristic and so far in front of main competitors, or usual high street banks.... I am very happy despite my findings or niggles. I even got my husband onto Starling Bank. Very happy with an all round online banking app. Messages or concerns answered very quickly, no hanging around and waiting. Excellent communication. So I do recommend highly, this Bank deserves recognition to listening to its customers, acting on and deliverance. 10/10 from me Thank you Starling, keep up the good work, you will then have awards coming fast and furious.
