Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Moved to Starling after 31 years with first direct

I joined first direct in 1989 shortly after it opened when it led the way in U.K. banking. I have now switched my account to Starling and have an even better control of my banking. They are superb and the new leaders amongst U.K. banks Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Just brilliant

Great every time there is a transaction it tells you. So easy. They helped me out when I was stuck in Portugal for 5months at the beginning of the pandemic. Nothing was too much trouble. Understanding and caring Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Fab bank

Very easy to set up love the real time notifications best bank ever Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So fresh a truly customer centred bank!

The only bank/financial organisation I know who genuinely listens, wants to help, understands customers are not masters of their systems. In fact I would go so far as to say they are the only major company I deal with not hiding behind the pandemic and internet expecting customers to empathise with them rather than other way round - so glad I moved to them!
