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

No fuss, good information

Have been using Starling for a couple of years now. Have 3 other bank's accounts and Starling is by for the easiest to use. Full marks to Starling just need you to enable me to start paying euro bills Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

No fuss

Easy to use, some great features on their app, like checking spend with Asda, and Spaces are great! Plus I think I get more interest on my account than in my other bank savings account! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Unsurpassed customer service

I can't speak highly enough of Starling Bank's customer service. Starling Bank's customer service is nothing less than a delightful oasis in a vast wasteland of nasty, incompetent useless corporate inaccurately labelled 'customer service'. Having used Starling's customer service using both email and phone I can not speak highly enough of them. Starling Bank appears to use human beings who actually ... wait for it ... read/list, consider and reply to every aspect of what I've asked about or the issue I was currently having. Then -- apparently without the need of a 'customer service' checklist or script -- they actually addressed my issues! Gasp! They didn't pass the responsibility or blame on the customer as a default action. Amazing! All aspects of my issues were addressed and resolved as if emailing or talking with a friend. Brilliant! There will always be issues with any service or product. However I have no fear should I need assistance in the future because I know from personal experience Starling Bank will listen, think and act (even outside the box!) to answer my questions or resolve issues. I would have given them a big hug if I could. Never thought I'd say customer service was a pleasant experience. I can with Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant bank

Easy layout. Quick service even on customer service. Polite, friendly and all round good bank Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Perfect app

Perfect timing,no extra useless notification. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best for Banking!

It's as simple as the heading suggests, Starling is by far the best for banking. No-fuss, no soppy rules, just an innovative and refreshing way to do banking. Starling has dragged retail banking kicking and screaming into the 21st century! Long may it continue! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple and stylish

I have been with Starling for around 12 months no and can't fault them. The app is so easy to use. I love that I get notifications when money is going in and out of my account. I've only had to contact them once and I was a bit concerned about how that would go but my query was resolved very quickly and in a very friendly manner. What more could you want? Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

FANTASTIC BANK

I was with another bank for over 25 years, since swapping banks I am so much more happier and their banking app is brilliant Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Fabulous bank

Everything is so easy with the starling app, the speed at which they tell you what’s happened is amazing, it is just so straight forward and easy to use, Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Professional Simplicity to managing Personal Finances

Easy to use and provides great visibility and clarity on categorising my spending and provides great functionality to set up saving targets in multiples ‘spaces’ which drives improved money management from monthly salary income. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
