Starling Bank Current account reviews (27427)

Seamless, inexpensive banking

5
Starling has a lot going for it. The customer service is excellent, the app works without fault. It does everything my high Street bank does, without fees, either monthly or for any transactions. I don't use the overdraft facility, but if I did I know the fees are much more reasonable then a high street bank. Paying in cheques is more fiddly as you have to post it to them in a prepaid envelope. I hope the app will soon have the ability to pay in cheques online. Apart from paying cheques, there's no need to go into a branch, even if they had any. You can definitely ditch your high street bank for Starling, and you won't miss it one bit.
