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

Immediate records of spending including overseas

I was always doubtful of spending in Europe with my old bank. Spending accounts showed up long after the trip, and even daily spending only appeared at the end of the month. With Starling I get notified of every transaction often shortly after spending. I know where I am all the time . I'd lost confidence in my former bank and felt it looked after itself first and the customer last. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Up to the minute banking

Couldn’t believe how straightforward signing up for this account was. Once I was all set up, I chose my own pin, (imagine that!) and then they sent me a card out, which I had a few days later. Any payment going in to my account is texted to me so I can see it immediately. As for the savings, oh my goodness, talk about innovation! You name the thing you’re saving for and how much you want to save and it’s all managed through one account. I won’t do it justice by even trying to explain it. But they even have a way for you to easily add to your savings by giving you an option to round up spends on the card to the nearest £ and they’ll add that to your savings. Honestly, I have several accounts with a top high street bank, but this bad boy account system makes me wanna move all my money and accounts there! Originally I only opened the starling account to hide money from my main account so I wouldn’t spend it and have it for when I needed it. Now I’m looking at moving my entire banking system over to them and I’ve only had the account 10 days!!! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy to use

Easy to use on daily basis! Easy to open and manage the account! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Outstanding customer experience

Right from day 1, I felt completely in control of how, when and where I spend money using my starling card. Without the marketing hype, this is truly about customer first. Service has been exceptional and now all members of my family have starling accounts. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy-Peasy.

Very good for travel and not incurring extra charges. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fully reccomend -everything going smoothly

Really loving the mobile-only interface. Never had to ring up or go into a branch. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Excellent bank account

The ability to earn interest on balances in a current account is quite unheard of nowadays plus they have free euro accounts and you can spend in pounds and euros effortlessly with the same card. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy to use and gives european account option

Spending abroad cheap and easy with the european account option Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

It is just as good as it looks.

I decided to open a current account a few months ago and I am quite satisfied so far. I was tired of my previous bank, with their charges or queuing for any change... This is more adequate for me and I highly recommend it. It is just as good as it looks. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Amazing bank

I'll advice it to everyone.......... Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
