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 and versatile

Honestly so happy with the switch to Starling. Easy to sign up, easy to switch, amazing security and optional extras such as disabling gambling websites or online purchases. The live notifications on your purchases as well as having saving 'spaces' to store money so you can't spend it in your main account. It's easy to create a joint account too. Just be near the person you want to have a joint account with and follow the simple instructions. Their customer service has been amazing though at times incredibly slow. But I couldn't recommend anyone else other than the best bank around (that's Starling btw) Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Easy Banking

Starling have a progressive view of banking. My experience with Starling Bank so far has been that the set up process is uncomplicated, efficient and utilising technology to enhance and expediate the customer experience. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Amazing!

Starling is amazing, you can do everything on the app. No charges overseas. It's so convenient. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

The best banking experience I have ever had.

Every aspect of this bank has been top notch - from the initial sign-up, to the excellent foreign currency rates, the mobile app, and every time I have needed to speak to customer services the response has been prompt, polite and helpful. Whilst abroad once I was a victim of card fraud, but using the app I could lock the account and then speak to Starling who arranged a refund and a replacement card straight away. I use them for both my current account and I also switched my business account across as I was so impressed. I wouldn't normally bother to review a company who are just doing what they're supposed to do, but I genuinely believe that Starling are doing it better than anyone else and they deserve to be recognised for it. One very happy customer! Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020
