Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Easy to setup and texts when there is movement on my account

Really easy to setup on my iPhone. I get a text when there is movement on my account. Another great feature is if I think I have lost my card I can block it with my App and if I find it later I can unblock it. Fantastic. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Revolutionary

My Starling account has revolutionised the way I use my money. Being able to use “my” money anywhere in the world and being able to see my live conversion in a phone notification is simply amazing. Saving money is hard, especially in today’s economic climate but with my Starling account, I can round up my money spend and put the change into virtual saving pots. We all lend people money sometimes, or pay for a bill at a restaurant. Being able to send someone a link from my banking app to allow someone to conveniently send the money back instead of trying to remember the account number and sort code every time just makes my life easier. I’ve luckily never lost or had my bank card stolen but if I did, I know my money is safe with the safeguards I have put in place, all thanks to the app. I have so much control now I never worry about my card being used for something it should, or someone that shouldn’t. I’ll never need another bank account again. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

The best banking experience

Easy to use use app, all functionalities are working great and are clear. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great bank

Always looking for new ways to push forward with new ways to bank and customer interaction 1st class. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best current account service

I have had current accounts with all the other major banks over the years and I've got to say Starling Bank trump's them all. A simple and easy set up process to set up a current account. The app is fantastic band easy to use and there customer service has been great (never seen any problems with it and only had to contact them a few times). And a great bonus is no charges for using the debit card abroad and you get the MasterCard rate when you use the card abroad which is fantastic Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

If only other banks were like this

Great bank, great service, easy to use, love the instant notifications and instant transfers. Have recommended to everyone I know and will be switching my main current account very soon Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Awesome app

I love the ‘spaces’ feature - its massively improved how I save money and manage my budget. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Bank of choice

Recommended to several people, absolutely indispensable when travelling. Really forcing 'traditional' banks to up their game and other better services and products to customers. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Quick, efficient and friendly...

Myself and my wife have been with traditional high Street banks all our adult lives and cautious of change. With Starling, all our apprehensions vanished. Starling is, in my mind, how 21st century banking should be. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Bank info on-hand

Impressed with the way you can see: exactly how much you have in your bank, any upcoming payments and bank information such as sort code and account number in a few clicks. Really enjoying the experience! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
