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

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

First time I've ever recommended a bank to friends and family!

Fantastic app, excellent customer service, and great to be able to use my card abroad without charges. I opened one account for starters to test it out, and now have two current accounts (including a joint account) and a Euro account, and I will start using my new business account soon. My partner has also opened a current account, as have many of my friends to whom I have recommended Starling. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

The bank I have been waiting for

Love the app. Perfect exchange rate abroad. Saving pots are a great idea to save for goals. Easy to pay friends or request payment. Super easy bank to be with, customer service is great. Will never go with a different bank! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simply Brilliant

Has made me better with money in only 3 months. Brilliant! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy and straight forward.

Never had any problems. Euro account has been a great option for me as I receive funds in euro. I travel there on a regular basis. It makes my life easier. A web access would be great. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Spaces

Love the spaces where you can set saving goals. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy and helpful

Two accounts 1 card (euro/sterling) what could be easier. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Reluctant contactless user

As an senior I was sceptical about contactless but as an avid coffee shop user and park walker I had to go contactless to visit the places I like -my sons recommended Starling and after signing up easily I became a user !! It has made my coffee trips an elegant experience and I know exactly what I am spending Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Just brilliant

The Starling process of opening an account is as easy as it should be! No more faffing with going into a branch, waiting in line, producing documents. The debit card arrived so quickly and the packaging was insane, it looked like an invitation to a plush party. Great rates for using money abroad. Easy to save money for stuff by putting it in a little 'pocket' so you can't get your grubby mits on it. I've recommended to all my friends who travel/pay for things abroad. Obviously it's a dream for domestic use as well. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best banking experience ever

So glad I switched to starling a few months ago! It has been absolute bliss. Customer service team is a dream to deal with via chat. So good even my partner switched to them. Happy Starling household Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
