Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

banking the way it should be

Straightforward no nonsense banking, paired with great technology. I couldn't be more pleased with the service, notifications for activity instantly on your mobile device. Application was safe very secure and completed from home. Slick app, card arrived in the post in two days. I have added two customers to their books since I got my account. Never written a review about a finance product in my life, what does that tell you. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellenct

Service Beyond Expectation. Highly recommended best bank in the UK you can get at the moment Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Freshingly customer focused

Transferring to Starling was not helped by my previous bank, but with advice from the customer service team, the issues were resolved easily. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent service

For me it’s banking service of 21st century Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Glad I switched!

I like how easy it was to sign up from my sofa, that I can pay in a cheque with a couple of photos, and that I can bank safely online, knowing Starling makes ethical choices. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Incredible

Easiest bank to use having switched across a number of high street and “tech” alternatives Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

One best UK Online Bank Apps

Awesome facilities but would be better if increases the interest rates and introduce QR codes for payments. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Recommend it to all my friends

This sounds really cheesy but is absolutely true - Starling has completely changed my banking world. The ease of use is ridiculous. Everything seems possible and is! Starling seem to know what issues are before they happen and create a solution before it happens. For example, fraud is so much easier to deal with particularly if you travel a lot. Instant messaging to your phone alerts you if your card is used so you can immediately cancel it if it wasn't you. It works brilliantly when travelling and the exchange rates are much kinder on the wallet. After such success with my personal account I moved my business banking to starling and not only am I saving every month but it is so much easier to use and I am in control of the business accounts at the touch of a button. My highlight is the smooth interaction with my accounting package. This caused my many headaches and tears when I was banking with Barclays. Well done Starling, you are showing the banking world what they should all be providing. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Reliable Bank

Just so easy...

I needed to move money to the EU from various sources, to help my son buy an apartment. The Starling app made it a piece of cake! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
