Simplicity made simple

Quick,reliable, modern, a genuine new era of saving Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

Current account

The best current and joint account! So pleased I switched. Easy access and instant notification. App incredibly very easy to use. The future of banking. Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

Best decision ever

I love Starling bank. They make it simple and don’t overwhelm me with charges, fees and products I don’t need. If this is what ‘lean’ retail banking means, I am impressed! Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

Easy & Efficient

Easy to set up. Easy access to manage your money Easy to speak to someone if you need help Exactly what a bank should be Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

When you're a startup bank doesn't act like a startup bank!

Perhaps a good lesson for Starling management to teach their customer service staff is to be a bit more humble when dealing with customer requests. Also, banking is a purely accounting, mathematical operation, how can money just disappear out of my account?! Yes, you read that right, Starling actually can't prove or disprove how money moves because of the disconnect between what the app actually shows and what the statement shows. Incredibly concerning! I moved to Monzo. Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

A breath of fresh air compared to old bank accounts.

Everything is simple with the app, and no rip-off charges. Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

Easy to set up

Great user experience, easy to use. Love the joint account feature which has avoided us going overdrawn which used to happen regularly (without warning) with our previous current account, therefore no high overdraft fees. I can see where every penny is going and save more effectively - all at a touch of a button. Reviewed on: 5th February 2020

Easy banking without any drama

Can not fault the service provided by Starling Bank. Specifically, the ease of using the card aboard. Quick, easy & transparent. Much better than the High Street banks! Reviewed on: 5th February 2020

Suddenly running by bank account is so easy

Starling have completely changed by view of banking so easy, so transparent and so reliable Reviewed on: 5th February 2020

Simple, intuitive, awesome.

Fantastic bank with a great app. The goals feature with round ups really makes it a doddle to save. Reviewed on: 5th February 2020
