Starling Bank Current account reviews (27463)

Works really well and super easy to use

5
Love the app from the sign up process to actual daily use. Super easy and intuitive. The spending categorisation is really useful for knowing where and what you are spending your money on. Also there are ultra low fees for making foreign payments and withdrawals are fee free. Was a bit hesitant signing up but now a love it and they can teach the old baks a few new tricks. A very happy user. Reviewed on: 12th January 2020

Finally a modern alternative

For years I've been with an older bank, and it's only since moving to Starling, I realised how easy it can be to manage my finances and savings. Everything is very well organised and up to standard of what you'd want and expect a 2020 bank to be. Reviewed on: 11th January 2020

Great

I can believe that other banks are not doing what Starling do I used to bank with First Direct and thought they were good, but my partner convinced me to open avStarling account and to be honest I wish I had done it ages ago The ability to control your card, plus a stylish card Ability to add notes to items so you easily recall what you spent Alerts as you spend They now need to offer deposit accounts so I can move my other accounts Reviewed on: 11th January 2020
