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

Awesome banking experience

I now only use Starling and have ditched the traditional banks. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy to use

Never had so much control over my money in 50+ years of having a bank account/s. Interest paid on everything, great. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Future facing

I love this bank! The “spaces” help me save for annual expenses and treats, the request payment facility makes it easy to remind mates to pay up when splitting a bill and I can download my statements in no time. Starling does everything a traditional account does and more. It puts me in charge of my money and has helped me become financially independent and debt free! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great for use abroad

Used the debit card all the the time in September when on holiday in California. Excelllent support via the app. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Very user friendly

Extremely user friendly and easy to set up. Helps me keep track of what I’m spending day to day and in turn has helped me stop spending money as needlessly as I normally would Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great

I’ve used starling for nearly two years now and have visited numerous countries, I don’t take any currency with me as starling is so easy to use home and abroad. Thank you starling Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Quick set up and easy to use

Great bank to use, was very easy to set up and perfect for holidays. Keeps track of all of your spending with instant notifications. Definitely would recommend to anyone. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Amazing and simple online banking

My first and only bank account - could not recommend enough! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Banking for the digital age!

Super impressed with Starling bank. Love the instant notifications, easy ways to save and free overseas transactions. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simple, fast mobile banking

Simple, fast way to manage money via an app that has primarily been designed for mobile banking in this manner. You can tell it’s not a high street bank or telephone bank that has tried to shoe horn itself into an app. as an after thought. When I’ve used the help facility response has been quick & simple. It’s also great being able to set up sub folders/spaces to help save towards specific goals. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
