Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Downside

There is no downside! No problem with cash withdrawals abroad! Reviewed on: 31st January 2020

Banking Made Simple

Starling Bank has completely changed the way I bank for the better. The ease of using the app saves a lot of time and enables me to view spending habits and keep track of my money accurately. The benefits of travelling abroad with my Starling Card are massive and are a welcome change compared to traditional 'high street banks'. The customer support has also been excellent when I've needed to use it. Overall Starling Bank has made banking so much easier and understandable. I always highly recommend the bank to friends and family. Reviewed on: 31st January 2020

Very helpful and provides amazing service.

Very helpful with switch and providing saving goals. Reviewed on: 30th January 2020

Not really challenging anything

Appalling fraud detection. Had no need to change their overdraft pricing as it was the same for arranged and unarranged in the first place - but they’ve followed the flock anyway and upped their prices. Reviewed on: 30th January 2020

STARLING BANK DONT BOTHER

Opened account while ago. Lost card, telephoned told new one ordered. Waited for it to arrive as was going abroad and needed it for this. It didnt arrive, i called to be told, system error and order was rejected! Tried to get it fast tracked, it didn't happen. I left without it, couldnt pay whar i needed to as no card. Cost me extra £5000,they gave me no help, said nothing they could do. MANAGERS SAID THAT!! PHONE PERSONNEL WERE SUPERB AS I WAS IN TEARS. Reviewed on: 30th January 2020
