Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Easy

Simply the best bank ever. It is SO simple to operate I almost feel like I'm cheating!! Customer service is second to none. And with mental health problems, the fact that I don't have to do phoning or visiting branches - it's wonderful. If all the companies I dealt with were this good, my life would be magical. I cannot sing their praises highly enough! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

First class service

So easy to operate and having a Euro account in tandem with a Sterling account is just ideal. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Everything controlled by holder

So easy to set up and use day to day

Love the app, so easy to make payments, transfer money etc. Already have family joining after my recommendation! They love it too. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Wow! Starling Bank. Fabulous

The process of applying to getting approval to open this account was smooth, no pressures, was an easy yet robust process. Real time notification about your activities is amazing and acts as a safety feature, in so much as I know every time my card has been used. A great bank. Love it Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

The best signup experience I have ever had for a FS product

I switched my account from First Direct late last year, as the things that made FD stand out for me (particularly availability of call handlers) were on the wain. I tried Starling after reading positive reviews, and was astonished how easy everything was - The main ‘high street’ banks have a lot to learn. Uploading a copy of ID and capturing a video for AML was a breeze. Less info than most require for the credit check. The Debit Card management was particularly impressive - no need to wait for a letter with a random PIN you have to change at an ATM, it was all handled easily in the Starling app. Now as a relatively new customer, I find the app exceptional and am thoroughly glad I switched.

Easy to use

So easy to set up and use, and brilliant at keeping a track of your spending Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Amazing

Really easy and useful. Very good app and law interest. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Brilliant Current Account

Since I joined Starling I have used the bank more or less on a daily basis. The only thing stopping me making it my primary current account is that I currently enjoy reduced travel insurance with the Nationwide as I'm over 70. Should they introduce a similar deal then I would move my account. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
