Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Modern, secure and convenient bank.

Starling Bank offers a convenient and easy way of managing my finances. Setting up a new individual account was very straightforward and setting up a joint one was even easier. The app's very user-friendly and all transactions are instantly recorded in my account. I get instant notifications when I get and spend money. There are no fees on foreign currency transactions which is very convenient when travelling. I also get instant notifications when using my card abroad and it automatically converts my spend into pounds. This is very reassuring and it gives me peace of mind. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Just Fantastic

Cant fault Starling at all. The bank switch went brilliantly and customer support was brilliant. A+ Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Simple, easy to use, efficient and rapid

Set up the account prior to an overseas adventure trip and from the word go everything went quickly, efficiently and has worked well ever since. Well done to them Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Great

Very good app and has never let me down yet Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

I love starling

So easy to set up a personal account and a joint account. I have contacted them a few times with questions on the love chat and it's been sorted out within 5 minutes. Easy to see transactions to keep track of your money and I love that you can have spaces for different savings. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Smooth Sailing

the Bank of the future

With Starling Bank you can see a live report of your spending, get access to the best looking banking app as well as budgeting tools and much much more! For me Starling Bank has been the crown jewel in getting my finances in order in a new and fresh way. But it doesn’t feel modern! It feels futuristic and once your finances are ready for the future, so are you. The bank of the future is here and it’s called Starling Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Fantastic

Superb bank account, easy to see and control your finances, with optional overdraft, at your control. Absolutely love it. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Best current account app there is

My Virgin One account has served me well over the years but now the mortgage is paid off, I was looking for a fast, easy-to-use, app-oriented current account that would allow me to classify and analyse my monthly spending against budget in much the same way that I used to do on-line with Virgin (sadly Virgin do not offer anything similar after your mortgage is redeemed). I looked at everything that is currently available (e.g. Monza) but Starling is the best offering by a country mile. Most classifications of my spending are automatic and accurate first time round but it is simple for me to reclassify if I have a particular reason to want to change it. Notifications of transactions are instantaneous by text (I can feel my phone vibrate in my pocket the moment I make a card transaction). 10 out of 10 in my estimation. I could not be more pleased.
