Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Excellent current account

Starling is very easy to use, and super fast in every respect. Having no branches, you obviously can't swap change for notes or vice versa or nip in for a banker's draft. However, that's to be expected from an online only account. There's no Web portal, which means if you lose your phone, you can't access your account, but they're working on that. There's already one for the business accounts. You can pay money in and take it out at post offices, just like with other banks. Unfortunately, it's not pos to pay cheques in directly, using your mobile phone. I feel that's something a mobile phone based current account should do, and that's why I've given one less star. Everything else is great. My favourite feature is the saving pots/envelopes (which they call "spaces"). These let you seperate money from your main balance. It's a really nice touch that if your main balance dips below zero, but it wouldn't be below zero if the money in your pots was still in your main balance, then Starling don't charge interest. But, if you've got a positive balance including your pots, then they do pay interest. It's the best of both worlds. They're fast, reliable, and flexible. I recommend them all the time.

Simple, secure, super intuitive

I'm sold on this bank and it's accounts. It's so easy, and as I work away from home a lot, its brilliant for us both to keep tabs on our finances wherever we are with such ease. Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

Love this bank

I love this bank so much I have persuaded my mum and my Nan to open accounts. They agree with me, it’s a great bank. Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

Great! easy to use and perfect for my needs!

very easy to use and very efficient. previously, i was doing all my finance management in a massive excel spreadsheet, which wasn't very practical, but now i can do most of it in app which is great!! 10/10 amazing Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

So easy to open and operate

From opening the account to loading my first funds, to getting the card and the ease of use and information, totally exceptional experience Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

Game Changer

Have been using Starling Bank whilst travelling through South America. It provides a truly fantastic app that allows me transfer money with ease. No fees when withdrawing from foreign ATMs is a huge bonus (provided that the foreign bank also does not charge). As soon as I get back to the UK I will be closing my Nationwide account and moving over to Starling in full. Reviewed on: 21st January 2020
