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

The cleanest, most user friendly app

Finally a bank that puts customers’ needs first. Gives me the info and actions I need instantly and in a clean sensible layout. Feels like a breath of fresh banking air Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Excellent bank

Very proficient, we have needed to contact the bank by phone from abroad on two occasions (our fault......forgot password). On each occasion we had brilliant customer service. They stayed on the line and took us through every stage with such patience and waited until we had made our payment successfully. So easy to make withdrawals from cash machines when overseas... and no hidden charges with a great exchange rate. Thank you Starling. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

New customer

They are very friendly and offer many products and have many good ideas on money saving tips and goals Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

All in the app.

Starling does everything a normal bank does with the addition to a super clever app. The app has so many features which just make life so easy. Real time notifications for money transfers, immediately change and monitor security of card and you can always see how much you have spent and on what as soon as it happens.

Has made my life so much easier!

Being English, but studying abroad in Italy the ability to have a card which holds both currencies in separate accounts is unbelievably useful. Especially after my previous mistakes of losing lots of money on conversion rates! Also, being a student, I love the way the starling app automatically groups my spendings (eg food, rent,etc), this feature has made keeping on top of my spendings so much easier! I couldn’t fault a thing about this bank, it really has transformed my life! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Starlingly good!

Love the Spaces

Starling Bank has made managing both my money and my disabled adult son’s money so much easier. I love the spaces, or goals, for putting my budgeted amounts of money into each month, so when I want to book a holiday, or buy clothes, I can instantly see whether I can afford to or not. It has revolutionised my finances. The instant spending alerts give me so much piece of mind. Thank you Starling. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
