Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

As it should be

I joined Starling in early 2018 for their clever handling of Euro payments and cash withdrawals ready for my holidays. The speedy notifications and ease of use blew me away whilst I was abroad so as soon as I got back I switched to Starling as my main account. I have not looked back. Customer service is excellent and the app features represent modern banking as it should be. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Starling Bank - everyone should be with them!

I have been with Starling for over six years and found them to be the best bank I've ever used - so much so, I moved my Business Banking over to them as well Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Fast and friendly

Starling are always quick to add a new device to your account, and it’s easy to do. one morning, a I got a notification for a transaction at a petrol station. I hadn’t left home. I called to inform them of possible fraud. Turns out the petrol station delayed submitting the transaction for a few weeks. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Starling Review

Starling is a good bank with great features. I like how easy it is to use and I am so happy to be a customer of it Reviewed on: 24th March 2025

Excellent service

Customer service is excellent and they quickly resolve issues. App is very user-friendly Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

Easy to organise and manage

Always responds quickly to questions and the interface is very intuitive. I appreciate greatly that they don't fund fossil fuels which is a big reason I switched. I love using the pots for sectioning my money per savings and bills. However, some repeating payments such as apple cannot be added to be deducted from your bills space, which can be a little inconvenient. Reviewed on: 18th March 2025
