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

Ultra modern, slick and cool

These guys are the Apple of the banking world. I've just fallen in love with a bank (!!!!) because they're seamless, modern, easy, sophisticated - the list goes on. I recieved my card in the post, I thought it was a classy invitation to an exclusive event, it was top class. I can pay for stuff immediately, before I even recieved my card. I can put money into virtual savings buckets. I get instant notifications when I send money into my starling account - INSTANT - how did they do that? It's a whole new banking experience. Why do we still bank with Barclays and Lloyds and blah blah blah, they're so old and so are their ways. My eyes have been opened to endless possibilities. I love this bank!

Monzo is better

The app password is very annoying – Monzo is better Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

The best bank yet

Very easy to use and absolutely love the integration with their app. Never using high street banks again! Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

AMAZING BANK!!

Very easy to use the app and no charge using in abroad! Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Brilliant for travellers

Great to use both at home and abroad. The app gives you instant information on your spend including any exchange rate if you’re abroad and doesn’t change any fees like other banks for using your card overseas and the exchange rate is always excellent. I have recommended them to lots of friends Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Starling Bank

Open an account before going on holiday a year ago, found it so useful both at home and abroad, as they give instant notification of any money spent, and in sterling, great when your watching your holiday spending. Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Banking. Simples.

It is a really simple to use Starling. Love the convenience of having everything at my fingertips real time. Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Good place for money

I have account in Starling Bank short time, before I use accounts in high street banks. First think when I check it... WOW! Innovations like goals or very smart system overdraft/loan this everything give this bank first place in my finance wallet. Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Fantastic Banking!

Starling (and other Challenger Banks) are the future. So damn convenient, easy to use app, great feature set, fully mobile based, great customer support, instant transaction and DD notifications as well as in-depth spending analysis. In comparison, I was on the phone for 46 minutes (during working hours) with a run of the mill high street bank (one of the big 4) just to make minor changes on my account. Completely archaic practices that are frustrating for the customers and a complete waste of time! I would never ever open another high street bank account and I am genuinely considering closing my existing accounts. Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Great Banking

Really love the app to date and hopefully will only get better in terms of cashing cheques etc via the app. Reviewed on: 8th January 2020
