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

Essy

Very easy and transparent. Clear on-line interface Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

A breath of fresh air

Opened a personal account last year and am impressed with both the speed and efficiency of opening and how the account operates - especially the fact that there are no additional charges levied when using the debit card abroad! Simple, straightforward and hassle free! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best way to save for different things

Starling makes it so easy to save for different things using Spaces, little individual money pots. Adding a title and photo to each space is a great incentive and reminder to put money in each week. I especially like the fact that your spending money is kept separate, making it easy to see what you have available, without dipping into your savings. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Refreshing Banking Experience

Refreshing Banking Experience, started off with current account and then opened up a joint account which was very easy. Instant information about spending is a real winner. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simple and straightforward

Easy to open, easy to use, love the “immediacy” of transactions pinging up on my phone and helps me keep track of my spending. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Impressed

I am impressed with the ease of use of the app and the forward thinking of this bank. The regular newsletter is always full of information. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great for travel

Excellent if you travel a lot. Very easy to use. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Modern clean the future

What an amazing bank, easy to use, super cool, on demand notifications, easily contactable customer service. Best switch I ever did Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Banking how it should be.

Fantastic bank with slick easy to use app. Brilliant inventive features which stand it out. Most high street banks are starting to catch up now which is great. Much preferred to monzo or similar as it has proper banking features such as an overdraft or loan function. Really great cant recommend enough. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Brilliant Banking Solution

An amazing option for those looking to travel (no charge for transactions in foreign countries) and brilliant for that little bit of saving on the side with Saving goals easy to set up. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
