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

Very straightforward

Easy and quick to set up - easy to use - immediate outgoings notification - very easy to move another account in and has all the features I was looking for Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great bank

Great bank. Love the feature to have separate pots and customise with goals and pictures Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fantastic Bank aimed at a hassle-free fully digital experience

Starling is, quite franking, a major departure from my previous bank's methodology, focusing on a hassle-minimized and very functionally helpful experience - which for someone like me who hates having to use a clunky mobile app to manage my money - with said app having limited functionality - the approach from starling is a breath of fresh air I didn't know I needed. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Seamless and easy banking

Starling combines the best features of a traditional bank with all the great fintech innovation. Great app and budgeting tools, no crazy FX fees, easy and seamless experience! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

What a bank should be!

With my wife, we were looking for a bank to open our joint bank account. After we learned about Starling bank we gave it a go as we were already quite sceptical about traditional banks and this joint account was meant to only carry monthly expenditures. Its been more than a year and the swiftness of the app and customer services plus all the little tricks offered by a Starling account (spaces, zero international fees, control of overdraft...) convinced us to stay with Starling and even expand to our own personal accounts.
