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

Refreshing banking

It's great to have a bank that actually wants to help you rather than look down at you. Very refreshing Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

A Breath of Fresh Air

I believe that this bank is the best thing to happen within my experiences of using banks, both on the High Street and online. I am kept up to date with a notification as soon as there is any movement within my account helping me to keep on top of my finances, this also alerts me instantly to any fraud or mis-use. I would recommend this bank to anyone 100% if not more Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Perfection

An amazing service, professional, dedicated and professional staff, no annoying appointments needed, they’re available whenever needed, and no parking issues when you need to speak to someone, I can do everything I need to do from my workplace or the comfort of my home, fantastic, thank you starling bank. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Innovative banking

I have had many bank accounts over the years. Many try hard to modernise their approaches via apps and tools within whimsy holding on to traditional methods. The main reason I opened a Starling account was for travel ease. I was fed up getting hit by bigger than expected bills when my transactions were updated - eventually. I love the rates and transparency of using starling abroad. I am also blown away by the very fresh, modern mobile savvy approach that Starling use - it takes mobile banking to a new level ! Thank you ! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Awesome!

A completely amazing banking experience that not only provided me banking services but helped me get that so needed proof of address which is difficult to obtain in certain circumstances. All my respect for this company, I highly recommended it to anybody really! I have been receiving my salary for 3 months already with them, never never had an issue, everything is perfect and I love them! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great Bank Great Product

I was one of the first customers to join Starling Bank. The customer service has been outstanding and issues (not caused by starling rather payments being taken twice by merchant) have been dealt with efficiently. Living between Greece and the UK I make full use of the currency payment service and have found exchange rates to be competitive with funds arriving at the destination in good time. I have recommended Starling to several people and know if at least 5 people that have opened an account as a result. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Future of Personal Bsnking

Great App, easy application process without the need of a branch, useful updates and currently no charges on Foreign Spending. Card arrived promptly and useful App control over the card including location protection Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

A breath of fresh air for banking

Joined starling as they offer a joint euro/gbp account. A faultless switch. I love the payment alerts through the app, the visualisation of the app and the fact I get paid my salary a day early. I’m really glad i made the switch. I hope the popular success does retract from their excellent customer service. I would however like a code generator for security verification for when one doesn’t have cell coverage Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Control of my own finances has never been easier

There are so many useful features with a Starling Account. From quickly and easily being able to see my account balance to opening multiple saving accounts to temporarily being able to freeze my own card. Even the notifications on my wearable devices that come to me even before the retailer sees the “transaction approved” message. It’s been a delight to switch to this bank and I’ve never looked back. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Excellence

Excellently accessible bank with instant transaction updates on mobile phone. Good exchange rates abroad. No transaction fees abroad. Euro, joint and current account all managed within one easy app. Great all rounder Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
