Pros and Cons of Starling Bank

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Starling bank. I only used to use it as a 'secondary' savings bank, but have in the last year moved over to make it my main bank. The pots with virtual cards have been the main reason for this, making spending and saving simple. The only drawback, and only thing making me consider changing is the lack of 'premium' option. I am interested in a bank that offers; travel insurance, gadget insurance, breakdown cover. I am willing to pay a premium for this, but I do wish it was through Starling bank, so I didn't have to consider changing. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2024

I love how i can organise my savings in different saving folders - from uni costs to rent to phone bill to year abroad, food etc etc . It's great to keep things organised and you can pay bills from each one. I like being able to label each spend with what it falls under e.g dining out or medical etc. Reviewed on: 29th March 2024

The only little issue is the limits are inflexible.

The only little issue is the limits are inflexible. Not more than £10,000 a day by card, not more than £2,500 a card transaction and it is a little hard to find that information. Reviewed on: 29th March 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Tal, Thanks so much for your feedback. Each card has a limit of £10,000 per day, regardless of the underlying currency you are transacting in. This limit has a max of 50 transactions and includes all transactions across all accounts the card is linked to, including additional GBP and currency accounts. We hope this helps, but please contact our team via in-app chat under the help section, and they'll help answer any questions you have. Team Starling. Response date: 29th March 2024

Excellent from the very start

Really easy to open, really good app, really good product. A bank I didn't need to be bribed to use and kept despite being offered bribes to switch elsewhere. Reviewed on: 28th March 2024

Starling is the best!

I’ve had several bank accounts in my life and Starling is the best! My partner says it was made for me! I love the spaces as I like my money to be “allocated”! It’s easy to use .
