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

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
