Starling Bank Current account reviews (27427)

Quick to join, feature rich, great customer service

5
Was an utter doddle to create a current account with Starling and transfer everything over from NatWest, who wanted to charge silly money for the privilege of having an overdraft facility. Lots of features to use - spaces, rounding up savings, Euro accounts and more - even better when combined with a business account! Reviewed on: 4th January 2020

Dire service

Nothing but problems from day 1. No thank you. Reviewed on: 4th January 2020

Amazing service

5
What an amazing bank, I have made people switch many times to this bank account. I also have a business account which is great. The transactions are instant, customer service is quick and responsive and they get things done. I don’t think I’ll ever use a high street bank again! Reviewed on: 4th January 2020

Easy, visual, fresh

5
I signed up for personal account in order to get a business account and didn't expect to use it - but have totally converted as I really love the interface which helps me manage my money and savings. Its all been very straightforward and easy to use so can't comment on what its like if something goes wrong but given experience so far confident that would be dealt with well.

Transparent and easy to use.

5
The ease of which you can open an account, from current, to joint, to business, to foreign, is fantastic. To me Starling is banking brought to the modern day. Reviewed on: 4th January 2020

absolutely fabulous

5
I started with a current account that would give me the best exchange rates and no fees to withdraw cash overseas. Since then I have opened a business account, and an extremely useful euro account. Highly recommended to everyone! Reviewed on: 4th January 2020

Great Bank

5
How a bank should be...... The App is so informative and easy to use. Also has great security features. Reviewed on: 4th January 2020

Best bank I have ever used

5
Signed up to Starling Bank from the start as loved their ethos and business model. So impressed with the bank and its service, that closed down my bank accounts with major high street banks Reviewed on: 4th January 2020

Just Brilliant

5
The app is just brilliant and so easy to use. Customer Service excellent as it’s great for a real person to answer phone quickly. Made to feel like a valued customer. Reviewed on: 4th January 2020

I never really liked banks before...

5
It’s fair to say that from the moment I went through the pain free Starling Bank account opening process I was hugely impressed. Since becoming a Starling Bank user, I can say for the first time that I like my bank. That’s saying a lot. Reviewed on: 4th January 2020
