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

Simple and easy...

Really simple, quick and easy to set up and as easy to use. We set up accounts for ourselves and also my 75 yr old mum who also thinks it's troublefree Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fabulous

Perfect, simple, informative, safe. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Bank of the future

It suits the people needs, very transparent, no fees to pay for normal transactions. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Super

Visiting Bangladesh over the Christmas holidays using my card was amazing everywhere. (Developing world countries are moving on and catching up) didn't not get charged all these different rates for exchange then another charge for using it abroad and didn't keep getting asked to verify my purchase eveytime I topped up a pound worth of mobile credit just the first time yes it's inconvenient when you have to change your SIM (using local SIM because of roaming rates way high)and then get charged £3 for recieving a text, best move for me , watch out big banks !!! Thanks Starling. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simple ui, brilliant service

I've had traditional Bank accounts from Lloyd's for many years, but always found online banking clunky and ineffective. Starling has a simple login with no silly 5th 3rd and last character nonsense with easy to view income and expenditure Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Gorgeous

No extra fee when you spend in abroad. This is just amazing... Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

how banks should be

this really is a super bank, I cant believe how many great features they have Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Brilliant

Everything is so simple, it's just fantastic to know where all your hard earned money is going, and where to stop spending so much, it's superb Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Faultless app, everything a bank should be.

If anything has ever annoyed you about mobile banking you can be sure that Starling Bank has thought of it. I swapped my wife and I over and haven't looked back! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Literally life changing

I know saying that a bank has been life changing sounds a bit extreme but to me it has. Before Starling I was always rubbish at budgeting for the month, forgetting this bill or that bill and then ultimately eating toast for a week! That’s all history now because I split my money in to Starlings goal pots which takes money out of your main balance and in to a saving pot which you can name them accordingly such as rent or phone bill etc, and then you can see exactly what you have for the month and spend as you please. I love it. Easy peasy set up, spend notifications - even before the cashier gives you the receipt, and round up which can round up your purchase spend to the nearest pound and put it in to a separate pot. Excellent customer service too. Thank you Starling and keep up the excellent work! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
