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

Straightforward, decent and honest

Unlike other challenger banks Starling has not used (short term) gimmicks or teasers to gain subscribers, then move the goalposts once you're onboard. Nor do they try and jam you with 3rd party product under the premise that they're opening your eyes (to the obvious)... The UI is clean, easy to use and intuitive and customer service always helpful when required. Keep up the good work Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fantastic Bank

You can see instantly what you’ve spent and the customer service is excellent Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great app

Everything works well on the app,great service best thing I done moving to starling Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Quick, efficient and easy

I opened an account because Starling were one of two uk banks to operate Garmin Pay. From opening the account to connecting Garmin and using the account everything has been incredibly straightforward and efficient. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Forward thinking bank

I initially joined starling for the commission free transactions when spending abroad but quickly became impressed with their ethos and their app. They are forward thinking and make banking easy. I have since convinced my partner to sign up and we now have a joint account with starling too! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best bank ever

Seamless app, outstanding customer service Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Would recommend to everyone to switch..

Excellent bank to be with. You feel into control of your money.Other banks don't compare and are too robotic.. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fantastic and easy to use

I've been using Starling for over a year now and it is by far the best product I have used in over 20 years. The ability to control what the card can do, disable it etc. is brilliant. Why do other banks not offer this?! The super fast notifications for spending money are excellent, and the app is so easy to use. Very happy customer! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great offering

Brilliant concept backed up by a class leading website Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Banking as it should be: simple and reliable

Banking with Starling is beautifully simple. Everything can be done through their beautifully-designed app, but on the couple of occasions I've called their customer service line I've reached a very helpful person almost immediately. The contrast with the beaurocracy and complication that I've experienced with traditional banks couldn't be greater. I'd recommend to anyone to switch to Starling. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
