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

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

Easy access to my money anywhere in the world

Easy to use app putting me in control of my money. Great communication about what I have spent immediately. No fees for using my card abroad Use my card on my apple phone Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
