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

Easy simple and fast

Just so easy to setup and use brilliant for keeping track of bills money in and out but the goals and round up at the best Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Super starling

Efficient & just what we need. We love Starling. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

What's not to like?

Starling bank is quickly becoming my primary bank account, something I never thought would happen with a mobile-only bank account. If it weren’t for the fact that I need a student bank account, Starling would definitely be my bank. The interface is lovely, the notifications are handy, and the card is pretty neat too. Only reason I haven’t given 10 stars is because most of my friends are students too, and need student bank accounts also. Currently hold accounts with HSBC, Santander, Barclays, and Metro Bank, and have recently been with Monzo too. None of them have anything on Starling bank. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Really useful abroad

Great for the near bank rates abroad while spending, saves ordering and carrying loads of Euros around Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great service and great bank

Although it took me a while to set up my account due to difficulty in uploading my documents, the service has been great. I particularly like using my card on holiday as I get a great exchange rate without any charges. I love getting the updates when I spend or transfer money. Also, I have used chat a couple of times and found the team extremely helpful. Overall a great bank and would highly recommend Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

A banking KISS, Keeping It Stupidly Simple

Brilliant banking at your fingertips

Customer service is great! Great way to help save towards your goals, instant spending notifications and if ever you need it very reasonable overdraft charges! 11/10 Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

The best thing to happen to banking in ages.

I don't know why I put up with Lloyd's Bank's shoddy excuses and punitive charges for so long... Starling are absolutely awesome, innovative, helpful and environmentally responsible... Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
