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 Service

5
2019 was the first time I tried out FinTech banks away from traditional banking and the experience with Starling so far has been such a breeze. The app is great, very responsive and easy to navigate. The 'spaces' areas to make savings easier and with the option to round up on spending has been so helpful. The physical card is very attractive and I've had many people ask me about it when I've used it in shops. The main plus point is the convenience of always being able to track your finances, especially having instant logging of spending in the app, option to see incoming payments couple of days ahead and the app automatically splitting the spending into categories.

A whole different banking experience

5
I love the immediate visibility of transactions in app, pairing of starling accounts online for easy instant money transfers and value for money on free transactions when travelking abroad. I had one query on my account, contacted them and spoke to someone and the matter was resolved instantly. A whole different banking experience. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Brilliant for Use Abroad

This account can be used here and overseas without any fees. It also sends a message to the account holder when the money comes out so you can check where you are with overall balances etc... Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

A modern bank

A modern bank with good products and app. Only does a few things and does them very well. Doesn't try to be everything. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Wonderful bank

So easy to do everything on the app. I also bank with Lloyd’s international and the difference between the two is chalk and cheese, the whole experience is just wonderful. Thanks for making my life easier Starling! Reviewed on: 20th January 2020
