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

Best Bank yet

Since I started using Starling, I've controlled my spending more, they message me everytime i spend, that makes me feel comfortable and safe, transferring money to a friend with a Starling account is easy too, we both love this Bank and are spreading the word, more and more of our friends are now using it.

A straightforward new way to bank

Starling is a new simple way to bank for a modern person who is salaried. No charges, pays a little interest on balances, and is simple to use. The App is very logically thought and laid out and has great functionality. Switching was easy and there were no glitches. No been with Starling for 18 months and cannot think of a reason to move. My only criticism is of the change to punitive overdraft rates where the latest rules from the FCA have induced all banks to raise overdraft rates to ridiculous levels.

Simply Winderful!

Streamlined, efficient all round service and app. The app is fantastic to use, banking is now simple and stress free! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy, quick, no headaches

A bank account that does exactly that: keeping your money available without bureaucracy, delays or queue. The integration with other service providers is a great add-on. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

The greatness of starling bank

From the moment I downloaded the starling app (after I'd read all the great reviews online) Starling was so easy to set up and easy to use. The layout of the app makes it incredibly user friendly and I have found the email updates informative and helpful. Great bank. So glad I switched! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Super easy and fast account

I have only just joined starling bank, I needed an account which I could use easily for when I go on my honeymoon to USA later this year. I was very surprised at how quick I could sign up, how easy the app is to use and I love the notifications which comes through so quickly when a transaction is made even when using chip payments, it’s instant. I can keep track of my money. Looking forward to using my account more in the coming months. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
