Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

My favourite bank

So simple, so quick, so efficient, so reliable. Couldn’t ask for more. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best online bank

I’ve tried opening a High Street bank account after I moved to UK but was unable because they didn’t take government papers as proof of address. In rescue come Starling. At first I chose them because their awesome card color but soon I realized the many many plus sides that came with them. I’ve never been this satisfied with a bank. The transparency, the benefits, the customer care-TOP Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best bank app

It has been the best banking app I have ever used, from many point of view, such as functionality, being able to pay someone with the app that’s close to me, categorising my spendings, one-time codes Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Clear, convenient and great for travelling

So reassuring to know you're not getting ripped off when travelling abroad Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Helpful and easy to use

Launch of Connected card and ease of using account for new payments and making sure money was in the right place was particular useful in the last year Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Very happy customer

I have been with Starling for a couple of years and I am very happy and have never had any issues. The app is intuitive and easy to use. Their customer service is great and they respond quickly to messages. I have had to get in touch after having my card cloned in India, and also to raise a dispute with a merchant and they have been responsive and helpful. Having no withdrawl or transaction fees worldwide is fantastic. It's so easy to keep on top of your spending with the app and using spaces to keep money aside. I recommend starling to everyone! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent

Great bank - beats my previous bank, HSBC hands down. I had my card stolen when I was in Mallorca and easily replaced it within a few days with no hassle at all. I can't recommend them high enough. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Very easy to use and well set out

The starling bank is a very unique and well sorted bank it’s very easy to use which just makes my banking life easier Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Seamless

Everything is so easy , all that a bank should be everything is just frictionless, my favourite thing is the paying in of cheques via the app not something I need to do very often these days but a job that used to make me sigh contemplating it is now quite a novelty and a joy as is everything about Starling Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Just brilliant

Easy to use fast and I love the transaction notifications feels safe like they have your back ! Also love the spaces saving within the same account really loving it !! Receive a cheque no worries paid in one day with easy photos and just had one credited in less than a day no more trips to the post office or bank for me. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
