A current account with benefits

There is a Euro account that runs alongside the current account. So easy to transfer money into it too. Very handy for travel within Europe. No more searching for currency exchange and a good rate at all times. Reviewed on: 17th April 2026

Great app

Very easy to open an account, great tutorials on how to use the app. Love how quick they notify you when money has entered or left your account by notification. Much faster than my current account with another bank. Gives peace of mind. Used abroad with absolutely no issues. Reviewed on: 16th April 2026

Absolutely pain-free experience with Starling.

5
Every single thing I've ever wanted to do with Starling, right from beginning the application process has been painless. I can't say that about any other financial institution I've dealt with. The app is easy to use, the functionality is great, the "spaces" are sooo handy and the customer service is fast, efficient and friendly. I've been with them for years and there hasn't been a single instance where I've regretted opening the account. Reviewed on: 16th April 2026
Reply from Starling Bank Hi there, What a fantastic review! this really put a smile on our faces. We’re so glad everything from getting started to using the app day to day has felt smooth and hassle free. It’s especially great to hear Spaces and customer support have made such a difference, that’s exactly what we aim for. Hearing you haven’t had a single regret after all these years means a lot to us. Thanks again for sticking with us and for sharing this. Team Starling Response date: 23rd April 2026
