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

Modern bank for modern times

App shows purchases in detail with notifications on spending. Easy secure access and 24/7 UK customer service. Fast delivery of card and easy set up of account. Mastercard Debit great for overseas exchange rates and rarely any fees - compared to mainstream bank charges and fees this is massive savings when travelling. Love the logos of where you've spent money and the breakdown of your spending Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Excellent bank

I've had a current account with starling for a couple of years now. Everything from opening the account to spending money all over the world has been effortless. I had to contact their help centre through the app whilst abroad and they were great. Would highly recommend them to anyone. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simply the best for 21st century banking!

These guys are doing all the right things with personal banking (I can’t review the business banking as I don't have one with them) The ease of use of the app is first rate, it looks professional and makes complete sense. I found the Monzo app to be too disjointed and don’t get me started on the high street bank’s app offerings - they are beyond useless! Well done Starling and keep up the good work!

Great Bank with fantastic online app

I use my Starling Bank account for day to day expenditure. I used the card on a recent year long tour of the USA and Canada and was especially comforted by the instant message when you spend or withdraw money. No fees, no fuss just instant up to date information on my expenditure. First class service throughout. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Recommended to all my friends

I love the confirmation messages telling me when I have spent giving me reassurance that my money is safe. If my card is used I instantly know if there is a problem. Also love the goals feature letting me save for things I need without feeling the pinch. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
