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

Great for travel

I got a Starling Bank account exclusively for travel (no exchange fees, etc) - i love that i get an immediate notification telling me how much the transaction was in GBP. But this is rapidly becoming my main account Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Best bank so far

it dead easy to open an account with starling and can spend, track expenses Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Kicking my self that it took me so long to get an account

I can't get over how pain free it was to organise an account and so user friendly too. Easy to navigate and great update to track spends. Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Best bank

Simplicity itself

From the initial openning of the account to the everyday use it couldn't be any easier Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Starling - Simple and brilliant

By an absolute mile the easiest account I’ve ever opened. Really good app with some great features. I would love to see a collaboration between all of the new age banks on the pay nearby service. Found this very useful, if it worked with monza and the other app banks it would be incredible. Overall I have no complaints at all, even setting up my new phone on my account was easy. Very pleased to have switched. I particularly like that dissimilar to most banks, e.g. Barclays, you aren’t using my money to Invest in the fossil fuel industry, it would be good if the app had some information about how the funds are being invested and news on the positive results of ethical investments. Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Fantastic

Easy to open and fantastic services. Would recomend to everyone. Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Great account and great app

The account is great, easy to use and the spending alerts are really handy. The round-up saving tool is a pretty neat feature. The app is great, quick to set up and easy to sue, would definitely recommend it. Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Easy to use

Easy to use and no nonsense with everything at your fingertips Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Modern Banking

Well thought out and easy to use account that processes things much faster and more efficiently than big high street names. Reviewed on: 27th January 2020
