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

Simple

Quick to setup , app has excellent ui, instant notifications on bank activity Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Breath of Fresh air

Fantastic upgrade to the boring traditional banks. Looking forward to all new products and features Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Simplicity in itself

In less than five minutes I had opened my new bank account online and used it to purchase something and transfer some funds to someone else. So that was all in 5 minutes. To open any other bank account would usually take about 5 days or even more. Andy Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Banking only better

Love the simplicity and it brings banking bang up to date. The only time I’ve had to phone for support, the issue was resolved expediently and professionally. Particularly enjoy goals as a means of managing money from a phone app. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Just brilliant!!

I moved over from Nationwide, after being with them for over 20 years, when they decided to raise their overdraft rate to 40%. Starling offered a 15% rate which was far better. I had read many reviews and there were so many satisfied people with Starling I figured I'd jump ship and switch my current account. Well I have not been disappointed at all. The app is brilliant and is such a great way to keep track of my spending. It shows me incoming and outgoing payments for the next day. I no longer need a card reader with me to set up another person if I want to transfer money. I get a notification every time I use my card. It is flawless and I couldn't be happier.... Also the bank card is so cool being a vertical design. I get people asking me what bank it is and I am happy to tell them out is Starling! Keep up the good work! Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Very simple to setup. Great easy to use software which allows me to access my information quickly.

Enjoy using the bank and features. Rounding up and savings goals are easy to use and help motivation as is is easy to see how it grows. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Easy to use, no ATM fees, LOVE it

It was incredibly easy to set up an account. The app is easy to use. I LOVE that there aren't any ATM or conversion fees abroad (the biggest reason I chose Starling). Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Simple and easy to use

The app does everything think a banking app should do. Travelling abroad is also free and easy. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Awesome

Revolutionised my spending, can see at a glance and great when abroad Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

No fees

I love having no fees especially when using the account abroad, even when using ATMs. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
