Starling Bank Current account reviews (27450)

Userfriendly account

5
Was wary of contact less payments and operating my account by phone. But am reassured by being able to see payments go through almost instantaneously and ability to control types of payment made on the cars. The ability to put money into separate pots and move them about easily has made an impact on my ability to budget and control spending. Reviewed on: 16th January 2020

Helps manage spending

I actually work for a high street bank & I now do all my banking through starling. The app is so easy to navigate whilst giving you a gray amount of detail. I’ve got more savings than ever before because I keep track of my money better. Reviewed on: 16th January 2020

Excellent app, excellent service

Starling’s service is really impressive. They make the established banks look really tired. Managing my current account in the app is so easy and customer services are a tap or two away if you need them. Excellent bank! Reviewed on: 16th January 2020

Setting up a new account was a daunting process after being a natwest customer for 14 years. Made the move due to starling banks app. I love the easy of setting up the account and the in depth details it provides. I live the rounding up aspect of purchases and the simplicity of this. It's euro account feature is also great when travelling abroad! Reviewed on: 16th January 2020

Switched to starling as my primary current account a few months ago and haven't looked back since. Excellent feature rich app and brilliant customer service. They are everything a modern bank should be. Reviewed on: 15th January 2020

Exactly how banking should be.

So easy to use, brilliant for budgeting and managing my money. One touch log-in from my phone and wonderfully satisfying to use. I’d been with my old bank (which was innovative in its day) for 15 years. I defy anyone to regret switching. Reviewed on: 15th January 2020

Just easy

It's all I want. Easy to use, easy to access, easy to transfer money. I have all but moved my current account exclusively to Starling and think they are ahead of the curve in the online banking world. Reviewed on: 15th January 2020
