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

Starling is amazing

Starling is great, my issues are resolved pretty much instantly, 10/10 bank from me. Notifications are perfect they’re never incorrect, they come right on time and there’s no annoying notifications that aren’t needed. Reviewed on: 14th January 2020

Amazing Bank

I used to change banks every 6 months or so and would have 2 or 3 bank accounts on the go at any one time, my bank hopping became so bad that it was a running joke with my friends. The pre-starling ones were all a bit rubbish. I've been a Starling customer since early 2017 and really can't fault them for anything. Their service is reliable, always up to date, make use of modern tech and - the main thing - has some amazing features. My experience with customer service has been flawless and they make things so simple. A recent example of Starlings amazingness was when a relative and I both needed to make very large payments from our accounts. Her 'old guard' bank insisted she call into branch and fill in forms, pay a CHAPS fee or send it over multiple days. Me with Starling - one chat via the app, my faster payment limit was lifted for a while and I was able to send the payment - it was there within the hour. I couldn't recommend Starling enough and really can't understand why everyone doesn't have an account with them. My bank hopping days are over. Reviewed on: 14th January 2020

Lead don't follow

easy and quick to use

having had my doubts about a digital only bank, i was so impressed in how quick and easy it was to set up an account and start to use it. Having recently travelled and spent in multi currencies whilst away, I was delighted to receive instant notifications on spending and the GBP rate. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 14th January 2020

Best Bank Account by far

I have been using Starling now for almoat two years. I am amazee by the speed of getting new features on board as well as fixing things. My top features are: - Instant notifications on payments - No fees on different currency payments (And the exchange rate are competitive, I checked this many times) - Easy international payments (EUR are cheaper than Transferwise particularly if you are sending small amounts) - Linked EUR account at no extra charge and I can use my bank card to pay Reviewed on: 14th January 2020
