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

Easy quick clever secure

Really impressed with how quick it was to set up the account and how quickly my card came. The app is just superb showing everything that you need, just can't wait until you can pay in cheques using your camera phone Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Best bank. That's it.

Been with starling since the beginning, joined because they were the first "real" challenger bank while monzo only had prepaid cards. But I stayed because of the great service and the speed with which they add new features and respond to customer ideas. For a bank that doesn't have branches their partnership with the post office is ingenious. Don't think there's anything I couldn't do with starling. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

The best current account

Beyond expectation, the bank of future, absulutely time saver, quick, easy, fair Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Great Banking experience

It’s just so simple and easy to use, I love it! Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Banking and finance management can now be fun!

Fast, efficient and user friendly banking. Lovely customer service too and not to mention, they do things ethically too. So happy I switched to Starling. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Straightforward, friendly bank

A no-nonsense, straightforward, friendly bank. They gave me a personal account when none of the big banks would. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Love my new account!

I was a little wary of changing my bank to one that’s not on the high street BUT I’ve had no issues with them at all. They have 24/7 help available. They don’t charge me extra fees for purchases made in different currencies. I’ve also been able to open a free business account for my small start up business. I’d highly recommend them to anyone! Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Makes me feel good about money!

Starling really cares about their customers and I love the innovation and creativity that it brings to banking. I’m more money-savvy due to the app’s intelligence, it makes my life easier and the customer service is awesome. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

How banking should be

Like Amazon is to retail, Starling has made traditional banks look frankly ridiculous. They have delivered a simply but highly effective banking solution for personal and business current accounts. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

100/00
