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

Simple, efficient and user-friendly

In the summer of 2019, I looked into the various digital challenger banks for setting up a new current account ahead of a trip abroad. I wanted something simple, efficient and good looking (not unlike myself) and with no overseas withdrawal fees. The only bank ticking all my boxes appeared to be Starling Bank, and so far I have been proven right! The sign-up process on the app was very quick and I received my debit card within a couple of days presented in a very snazzy welcome card. The app is so easy to use and is organised beautifully. Would highly recommend based on my experience so far! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best Bank

I have switched from NatWest and starling is 100% better and easier Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy to open Euro account

I opened a Euro account to run alongside one of their current accounts with no fuss whatsoever. Fantastic simple service which solved a lot of problems for me! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Wonderfully Intuitive.

This is the most brilliant form of banking, this should be the way all banks should be. They should be looking at Starling as a role model for the future of online banking. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

No hassle no fee account

Great account, great app with upto the minute updates. Great customer services too. 100% recommended Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

So easy and simple!

Since switching to Starling Bank everything has been so much easier! It's easy to set up, there's no hassle and the customer service is great. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

A great easy to use real bank account with great features

It couldn’t have been easier to set up the Starling account, and the features such as Savings Goals and ‘round-up’ add to the experience. I feel like I have more control and understanding of what and where my money is going and i’m saving more than before. The connected joint account we opened is just as fantastic. Can’t recommend highly enough ***** Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Just so easy...to switch then use

Switching was so easy and handled seamlessly. The account opening process itself was simplicity defined, including the 'sit on the couch next to your partner and open a joint account'...and my wife is no tech lover. In fact she said after a few days using and a couple of payments made...wow this is so easy to use. She likes the goal setting to put aside money too. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Brilliant

No charges just interest! I signed up for a starling card before I went on holiday. 4 people in my family already had one so recommended it to me. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
