Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Finally a great bank..!

When did a bank actually ever do what it says on the tin? Well in my opinion Starling does. My wife and I have individual accounts in GBP and Euros, plus a joint account. It’s too simple for words, everything always works, the fx rates are very competitive and we have full transparency on all our transactions and savings. Just brilliant!

A breath of fresh air to Banking

I'm astounded by how good Starling is. The process of opening the account in the app was simple. The app is fantastic. I can already tell they are going to be MUCH better than my previous/current business bank - HSBC, who by comparison are cumbersome. out of touch and in the Dark Ages !!! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

By far the best account than any other banks.

It's simply the best decision I've ever had with the Starling Bank account, best non fee for most of the travelling requirements, best currency exchange rate and best app. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

You simply cant beat this Bank.

Having suffered RBS for over forty years, Starling Bank is a breath of fresh air. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy and accessible

Love the round up function and find that the opportunity to ring fence funds, and earn interest on the whole account has really helped me save Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simple, easy, excellent

A superb experience from first signup to my current account transfer. A simple and easy app with all the functionality of a mainstream bank in the app plus everything else you’d normally have to call up or go into branch for are also available to do in the app instantly Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Never too late to change....

I changed to a Starling current account two years ago after I was widowed, and had to look at my financial situation in a new light. I previously held accounts with two high street banks, but increasingly felt isolated as a customer. More to the point, neither of them offered the easy in app financial management tools or the current account interest rate that Starling does. To be honest, it was refreshing to be in at the beginning of an exciting new banking venture as I navigated my new life. I do feel like I’m flying in a murmuration of starlings, exhilarating but with safety in the numbers around me. Who would believe that banking could be fun! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

What modern banking should be like

Instant notifications about spending, easy access to see the balance, no international card payment fees (also easy to see the amount in GBP instantly) and something that I absolutely love - SPACES to put money aside, creating as many pots as needed and easy to track the progress. Also great customer service. In my old bank (Barclays) contacting someone to ask questions was almost impossible, here there’s an easy to use chat and messaging system. Also it’s all entirely online - with Barclays even though I have chosen the online statement options I still get tons of junk via post encouraging me to get their credit card with incredibly high interest rate - definitely not what I need. Starling really is what banking should be. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

So easy to use!

It was so easy to open an account on line and it has a great app for android phones. Messages you within seconds of you using your card, with the relevant transaction details. Best bank I've ever been with! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Instant notification

Wherever you are in the world, if you have data or Wi-Fi you get notification of any transactions on your account within a second or two! Free of charge foreign currency transaction. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
