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

Best Bank account I have had

I worked in a bank for 29 years and so know a bit about customer service. I have to say where I worked was definitely not customer friendly but Starling Bank has certainly got it right. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Starling bank is a star!

Brilliant bank account. Very easy to use and interact with. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simple and convenient

Just banking, simple, user friendly, love the euro acct and joint card. Perfect European bank in the UK Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Excellent Flexibility and Customer Service

I've found the service in particular to be excellent. I've had few queries to be honest as the app is so reliable but when I have I have received prompt replies and clear explanations. I also love the app which makes day-to-day banking and saving easy and a joy to use. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy

Got a current account for travelling as they offer great options for using your bank abroad. Now with the easy access of this bank and the great service I have received looking to making this bank my primary account Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simply Sophisticated

I’ve always had a guarded relationship with banks as I have never managed my money well. I’ve always paid my debts though. Starling started me on the road to getting to grips with staying in the black whilst reducing my debt. Direct Debits, Standing Orders, Monet goals and the amazing text messages that give me time to keep in the black and stop payments being made. I’m 61and have found it easy least to navigate and I love the security even when they tell me my card is at first declined when using Contactless. Starling is super smart and I murmur it to all I meet. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Very pleased with the service and the product.

Easy to use and very convenient for travel abroad. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Top notch bank

Starling is, in my view, a top notch bank because it is so use friendly. I have longed for a bank that makes it easier for me to budget my expenses and savings. The app works well on both iPhone and iPad and the ability to offset goal savings against any overdraft charges is great. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fantastic App

Great no frills account with no overseas fees for cash withdrawals or payments. Great app that lets you keep abreast of goings on Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Excellent

Really easy to set up and card arrived really quick. No hassles Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
