Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

I setup this account after 2 recommendations in the same week.

As the title says, I originally set this up after a couple of friends recommended Starling. I am doing some traveling abroad and the zero transaction charges is very useful in the USA. But I’ve also found the app and associated information available is an excellent function for this account and checking transactions. Very easy to keep a check on my spending. Money requests and checking currency exchange has also been useful. Reviewed on: 26th January 2020

The best bank

They have a great app that tells you everything instantly. No charges at all when you use your card abroad, in fact you get the best exchange rates possible so you save lots of money. You can set up an incredibly easy to use savings pot. This is what every bank should be in this day and age. I couldn't recommended them more. Reviewed on: 26th January 2020

Superb technology

Opening an account with Starling was the quickest and most efficient experience I have ever had with a bank. They are utilising the latest technologies to provide a customer experience second to none and with this comes the very latest in security which gives peace of mind. I applied for a current account with Natwest at the same time and by the time they had written back to me to ask me to provide documentation in order to progress I had already had my first direct debit claimed from my new Starling account which had been set up within 24 hours. I’m two months in with Starling and a superb experience so far as the mobile app gives you everything you need and more. Reviewed on: 26th January 2020
