Starling Bank Current account reviews (27450)

A breath of fresh air!

5
I *adore* the how I can quickly and easily separate my account into different pockets (eg saving for my next holiday, setting my tax aside, etc) and I love the layout, clarity and look of the online portal. I have spent decades with Lloyds Bank, my only reward being higher and higher daily fees and interest. Clawing my way out of my overdraft, no thanks to those exorbitant daily fees, has meant I can now make the switch to my Starling account. 2020 is looking so much better financially now. I tell everyone about Starling! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great app and great features

5
Their app is packed full of features and is reality ready to use. It makes accessing all the features of the bank account very easy. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

The future is here and it's digital

5
I've been with Starling for 2 years and it has been a great experience. I have a single account and a joint account with my wife. I've been using Starling abroad during the holidays and it's a huge relief knowing exactly how much you've paid in foreign currency and not being charged extra fees or unfair exchange rates. Can't recommend Starling enough. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy to set up and use

5
It was easy to set up without multiple trips to a branch. I could do it from home. I know exactly what I am spending and what I am spending on. Very efficient and all on my mobile phone. Just wish I could send funds to Australia from the app. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
