Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Amazing, the way banking should be in the 21st century

Opening the account was so easy I couldn't believe it at first. Then the ability to instantly open up a Euro account too and transfer between them at pretty much interbank rates or pay directly in GBP or EUR with my card. Plus a £5000 instant overdraft, which was unexpected. Why would you bank with anyone else? Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Simple and issue free

Using Starling on visit to Australia and New Zealand was so simple and the quick and efficient spend notifications really made it a fantastic product Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Best Modern Bank!

My experience with Starling has been phenomenal. I opened the account one evening with no paperwork and no faffing about. It just happened. I was able to put money into my account and use the mobile facility to make payments in shops straight away. I'd initially just planned for it to be a spare account for going abroad but the user experience has been so good that I essentially just use it as my main bank account. It's when dealing with Starling via the app or using the chat function (always answered very quickly) that you realise how much time other banks waste; whether it's pointless paperwork, queueing on the phone because the app doesn't do what you need, waiting for something in the post, Starling minimises it all where other banks don't. It sounds strange to say you love your bank account... But I do! Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Simple but genius options!

I love all the options available in my Starling account. I particularly love Spaces. The ability to cordon off money for different reason/projects/savings without having to have separate accounts is brilliant. So useful. Thanks Starling for thinking about the way the everyday person deals with their money! Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Common Sense Modern Banking

From opening an Account through paying money in to taking it out in UK and Abroad a Fantastic experience. To date I cannot fault Starling. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Efficient uncomplicated and very, very neat

The simplicity of the account is refreshing, the use abroad is incredible the exchange rates are exceptional no need to take CASH. As a more mature person I found it easy to adapt to online banking this way and I will be migrating more business in the new year, now that I am happy with my test drive.

Best Bank by Far

It is so easy to setup an account and the card is with you in days of being accepted. The app is a fantastic tool to help organise your money, set savings goals and to analyse where your money goes each month. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020
