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

Brilliant, responsive and user friendly - the future of banking

This is the only way to bank - easy and immediate bank transfers, interest on credit, easy to lock card if lost, up to date account status, and text warnings when direct debits are due out of the account. A pleasure to use, no hidden charges and has 100% helped my budgeting. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Best online bank

Couldn’t ask for a better online bank,always fast notifications,very easy customer friendly app...5star!!! Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Banking like it's 2020

It is 2020? yes...? This is what I find myself saying to staff members. of legacy high st banks when I come up against something unknown with my own bank (starling). Things like instant and printable statements..live spending analysis, instant account opening.. etc etc.. The response I usually get back is "I only bank with them as I have to for my job" I feel like calling in UN Peacekeeprs sometimes... Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Best Banking service I have ever experienced.

Fast efficient service instantly updated transactions, keeping me fully updated. When a fraudulent transaction appeared, Customer Services told me what would happen, kept me updated and recovered all my money stress free. Perfect service. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Very straightforward banking with no charges!

Dumped my previous bank (having banked with them for over 50 years) for Starling Bank and already benefiting both financially and ease of banking (far more convenient with information on transactions available immediately). Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Personal Banking Simplified

Signup was straightforward, with reassuring security measures handled swiftly and efficiently. The app is intuitive to use and provide all the day to day functionality needed for personal banking. I can't image Starling frustrating me. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Modernising banking

Easy to open an account. User friendly. Would never go back to high street banking! Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Best banking I have had in 50yrs

I have been with many banks both in the UK and overseas but Starling have provided the best service to me. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Easy to use and simple

The app is well designed and put together and has a good user experience. All money in and out you get notified on, even if the merchant reverses a transaction you get notified so you can be sure what you see is what you have. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Faultless

How modern day banking should be done Reviewed on: 22nd January 2020
