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

The best bank around

I've been with Starling since October 2018 and it's the best banking decision I've made. Everything, from top to bottom, has been efficient. The app is great, the customer service is excellent (the live chat feature is especially good) and the instant notifications on my phone has changed my outlook on my spending and budgeting each month. As previously mentioned, the live chat feature for me is one of the best things about Starling. I think I've lost days of my life waiting in a queue on the phone to my previous bank. The maximum I've waited with Starling is a couple of minutes. I will soon be starting my own business, and for me opening a business account with Starling will be a no brainer, even if it's only half as good as my current account! Best of luck with the awards.

The best bank

No nonsense approach to banking. The first bank to move with the times. Reviewed on: 27th December 2019

Feels like a cool new group of friends....!

This is going to be a bit boring because my experience has been really great so far. Simple. Easy to use. Easy to apply and feels like you are in control of your own destiny money wise. Don’t get me started on the App and the card. It’s such good quality from the font that they use, to the envelopes that they send the cards out in. The back office support is very good - no trying to hide the phone numbers to make it difficult to ring and 3 other points of contact if you can’t get through. No difficult language or dealing with people who clearly don’t like their jobs. Feels so good to be in on something fresh (to me anyway) in the banking world! To sum up (as if you haven’t already guessed - I ❤️ Starling Bank! Reviewed on: 23rd December 2019

So Simple and Easy To use
