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

Needs improvement

Used this account for travelling but was let down. several transactions were declined at a large business in an EU country but the funds were earmarked so I couldn’t spend for the rest of the holiday. Customer service on this issue was poor and inconsistent, with different reasons being given each time I contacted them. Had I not had any cash with me or other accounts then this could have left me abroad in a sticky situation. App lags behind its competitors with poor interface and lack of features.

User friendly banking

I can recommend this product, it has changed my mindset to managing my finances, reduced the extortionate fees I was paying to a high street bank and educated me better on how to bank sensibly. High street banks don’t educate the customer, they simply rip them off for as much money as they can!!! Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Amazing

Best experience ever with any bank Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Fantastic easy to use bank account

What do I love best about my Starling account??? Well apart from the interest earned, the fact I can use it abroad with no charges, the ease of getting through to customer services, the 'spaces' option to save alongside my main account, the 'round-up' option to save a little every time I shop, and the fact that I get alerted the second I use my card, meaning I would know if i lost it and someone else used it, well there is not much to say really! :-) Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

No Drama!

Starling banking is how I like it: unobtrusive. It doesn't make any demands on my time, it's available for whatever I want, whenever I want it. I've actually started boasting about my bank. I mean, come on, getting cocky about my banking choice? Ridiculous... Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Simple to use

Easy to use app which is very easy to navigate. I like that I can have notifications to let me know when money is going in or out. I also like that you can see how much you have spent in a day and a breakdown of where the money has gone to. I think that the split option is also a good idea for ease of splitting the bill when out with friends. The only thing I would like to see is a quick balance check option so that you don't have to log in. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

How all banking should be!

Great experience so far, all the niggles of traditional banking have been erased by Starling. A refreshing way to manage my money. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Hassle off for David!

I find the account and App simple to use, clear and transparent Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Feel confident using Starling.

As a retiree,online digital banking,away from a high street, is something new to me and outside my normal comfort zone. Having used starling for over a year now,I feel more than comfortable using it.Since I will travelling in Europe more these days the addition of a euro account is particularily usefull. In short,I feel confident using Starling Bank,an await further enhancements as they come along. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Simple, efficient, good value and secure!

The set up process is simple and quick- use of the card is easy and efficient, instant notifications of use is a great benefit . Use abroad is equally as easy, no charges with good exchange rates. Great bank and customer focused. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020
