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

Better than Monzo

Does everything Monzo does BUT it also offers a bit of interest on balances (with Monzo you have added faff of opening new accounts) AND the UI is better. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Excellent and responsive current account

I use Starling for the majority of my banking needs both home and overseas. I have found the easy access to information about my account online much superior to other banks I have used. It's so easy to keep track as to movenents on the account. On the couple of occasions I have needed to contact customer services the response has been speedy and helpful. I have found the account easy to use and understand despite being an older pensioner. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Totally flexible ideal for European travellers

The debit card can be switched between your sterling and Euro accounts whenever needed. Transfers between accounts at the best possible exchange rates. Brilliant for frequent travellers to Europe. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Amazing Bank better than high street ones

Banking with starling is totally simple and helpful. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great product, easy to budgey

The account was simple and quick to set up. The app enables me to budget my money so much more easily and keep an eye on what I'm spending and where on a monthly basis. I use this account as my 'spending' account. Great features such as foreign exchange rates. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Starling Bank - an Oasis in the Banking world.

Starling Bank appears to have a unique approach in todays market place. It is one of a few Banks that trys to put customers first unlike most of the major Banks who seam to hold no respect for loyal, long serving customers. Their systems give the impression of being modern and run by people who understand the customer facing challenges and take interest in their customer views. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

New bank new ideas

Instant notifications ,just a modern bank that works well Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fantastic bank!

Reporting on any aspect of your account income and expenditure at the touch of a button. Fantastic and friendly customer service provided 24/7 via instant chat within the app or over the phone. No waiting in queues listening to repetitive elevator music sampled with voiceover ads about how great your bank is etc because this great bank will call you back if you press 1! ;) Easy to lodge cash at any post office that offers counter services and free atm withdrawals which some other well known online banks don’t offer. Can’t recommend Starling enough and I use them for my business as well as my personal banking. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

How banking should be

Starling is no doubt the future of banking. It's instant and convenient, easy to understand and full of features, secure and oh boy does it look slick on a smartphone. Never has being in full control of your money and pending been so easy as with Starling's brilliant current account and accompanying debit card (including seamless Apple Pay link). I still use, and will continue to use, a hughstreet bank for my mortgage, serious savings and investing - but for everyday banking and spending, Starling is the way to go.

The best current account ever!

I got introduced to Starling Bank through a Facebook ad. It was easy to set up and as well to use. The debit card is awesome. Latest tech of dual currency debit card is a must appreciable thing. I'm loving it! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
