Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

All you need from a bank account

I've been using Starling for a few years now as my main personal bank account, and it has never let me down. The mobile app is easy to navigate, the features and functionalities are brilliant, and the customer support is friendly and reliable. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Ease of use and speed

The app is intuitive and updates are iterative rather than wholesale meaning it is constantly improving the user experience. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Where Others Follow Starling Leads

Never a moment’s problem fast efficient reliable top of their game. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Much easier than traditional banks

I love Starling, it's much easier for paying money in (post office) and general user experience. Previously with HSBC who's app is clunky and not use friendly, never had been, managing money is now a lot easier. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simply the Best

Title says it all. easily move my money into spaces. simple navigation and easy to use. everything I need in. bank for this day and age. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great bank, Amazing App

I really do feel I can't live without Starling any more. The instant notifications and money movement helps me know EXACTLY where I am and their customer service is always on point. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy and enjoyable

Everything with Starling is easier than my old bank. I look at people fighting over freezing cards when lost, or being unsure of what money is going in or out and feel like I have so much more control. The app is great and I feel much more able to work out what I want to save for and manage that process. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

No Fuss

I switch banks to Starling, the switch process completed on time and operating the account is so easy. Great security too. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Does what it says, and more!

I have never once had an issue with Starling bank, I first joined this bank to use as a travel card in Asia. There were no additional charges, a very good exchange rate and I even made use of the available overdraft, which only had a very small interest fee after 6 months. Of which was refunded to me a month or 2 later as a gesture of goodwill as a loyal customer. The monthly newsletter keeps the users in the loop and shows they actually take the time to adapt a personal bank for just that reason, to be personal. I couldn't recommend more highly, if not for the previous examples the use of the spaces allocation of money is an amazing feature to help organise your money. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Just amazing

Overall the bank is amazing! The app is great and things runs smoothly. I would want to see some changes implemented from other banks - like the ability to do telephony banking for situation like when my phone is dead and I need to move some money or make some payments.
