Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Who needs anything more

From opening my account with the app to providing my ID with a photo and instantly getting my card to use with ApplePay, the entire experience has been efficient and seamless. Only once have I had to contact customer services in the app (about a non-account issue) and the response was immediate, and resolved within ten minutes. I’ve never before been compelled to praise or recommend a bank, however; Starling have something great that I’m more than happy to shout about. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Starling leads & others try to catch up.

Both myself & my wife have been Starling customers since 2018, with both of us having individual & joint accounts, plus the Euro account extension. As we are both retired / over 65 we are in an age group that could be considered cautious of new technology, and no doubt constitutes a very small percentage of Starling customers, yet we have found the app comprehensive & easy to use both in the UK & abroad & in less common currencies. As neither of us have had any issues or concerns with any aspect of the Starling offering (which could not be said for our experiences with 'mainstream' institutions) it is only fair to give Starling full marks for what they do & the service they provide. With interest as well!! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
