Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

excellent service

I have recently switched my current account to Starling and i am super happy with the services. What is most outstanding for me is that this is the first bank that makes me feel important. Starling treats me as a customer who is valued with the intention to make me happy with the service. I appreciate that. The service is fast and friendly. So I switched all my business accounts to Starling as well. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Innovative bank

Hassle-free from outdated systems still currently run by some High Street banks . Secure, smart banking without the stress of dealing with unpleasant bank managers. Thank you. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Everything you want in a bank.

From the ease of setting up the account to navigating the app and all of its features, Starling are hands down the best bank I have been with. 5* fir everything. I can’t fault them! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great app

Very surprised most banks don't adopt similar features to Starling Bank's mobile app. Stuff like requesting money and the sender being able to pay with Apple Pay isn't possible with NatWest or the other major banks. Overall, great app, clean and easy to navigate UI, good features. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The way to go!!!

So far this has been a wonderful expirience in using this Bank. I hope you keep going in the same direction, as I will always use you as my choice No. 1 in banking. Well done!!! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

App-based challenger banks are the future

I can't really compare Starling to their direct competitors in this new space, but I do know they're leaps and bounds better than the traditional brick-and-mortar banks I was used to dealing with. The simplicity and ease of access means I actually feel aware of, and in control of, what's happening with my money. Features like saving spaces and expenses categorisation help me on a day to day basis, and a growing stable to plug-ins from 3rd party services is encouraging for the future. Assuming the economy improves at some point and interest rates become more than negligible, I hope we'll even get savings accounts and similar. Otherwise I honestly dread the idea of having to go elsewhere for them. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Starling flies with the Eagles - always.

I cannot praise this bank enough. As a 76 year old, I thought joining a digital bank might be too much of a challenge - but I was wrong. They fly high in a class of their own - thank you. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Absolutely brilliant

This is the only bank I would trust at this time. Customer service is second to none and they are so friendly! I never have and do not envisage any problems in the future either. Thank you Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great bank

Love how this bank keeps in touch. Makes you feel your part of something familiar and real, unlike the other big corporate monsters. The app is great - I actually earn interest on my current account! I love the kids account, (shame it costs £2 per month but hey ho) the commission free card use abroad a big deal to me also. Hoping to get the opportunity to take advantage of that this year! I also like that fact it’s UK based, even more so it’s founder is from my home town Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So straightforward and reliable

I find Starling Bank brilliant for day to day banking and purchases. Quick to respond to queries and always happy to help. Been with them a few years now and wouldn’t swap for anything Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
