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

As a traveller, best bank ever.

I travel a lot for business and pleasure, the Starling card has been amazing. I have been able to use it in every country that I have visited. What I live about it is that its a Mastercard and its used widely everywhere. Bonus is that withdrawing cash in local currency I don't get charged a sterling charge like with other UK banks.

The most perfect and streamlined banking app I have ever had

I found it extremely easy to apply and open account and normal day to day nanking is so easy ! Literally at the tap of a button! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Quick, Simple and Different

I signed up on a Wednesday afternoon and next morning my Starling card appeared in the post. I started using Starling for all my transactions and there is a great summary showing me where I am spending money (lifestyle, groceries etc). I also like that I was able to open a Euro account so I will be using this when I visit My house in France. Conversely my main account with a legacy bank really provides only basic information. The future is Starling! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
