Starling Bank Current account reviews (27427)

Second to none!

Set up my Starling account to use as a ‘holiday account’ - fantastic no charge for foreign transactions and market leading MasterCard exchange rates. Had numerous questions when applying / using but their customer experience is exceptional with all questions answered with the customer at the forefront of their approach. The account is simply a current account for the 21st century. No ‘free money or other bells and whistles’ but it speaks volumes after having recently moved from my mainstream, high street current account provider - who do have those bells and whistles! Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Straight forward and simple

Swapped from Lloyds after 32 years a customer due to terrible experience they even changed my address and I haven't moved! Starling was simple to set up and I have a much better idea of what is going in and out of my account. The foreign exchange is also great! Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Amazing Internet Bank

Starling may be the less known internet bank, their card is definitely a conversation starter. The app is very regularly updated and comes with a lot of functionalities you won't find in traditional banking apps. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

The best and it's free.

I love the app and the easy of use. No fees to use abroad. It's good as MONZO, but Starling wins the race because unlike monzo there is no limit to withdraw cash abroad with no fees. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Incredibly Accessible

Starling has opened a new perspective on banking for me. Someone recommended Starling on the basis of the functionality of the mobile app and it has honestly revolutionised the way that I interact with money. The app makes everything so straight forward and clear which I did not find with previous banks. Having notifications sent directly to my phone when I spend allows me to keep track of everything I buy which has allowed me to budget better as a graduate. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Quick, easy, useful

Everything I look for from a current account Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Finally, simple banking!

Easy opening, easy use, transparent charges and great foreign exchange rates. Thank you Starling Bank! Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Best British Bank

Initially used for my banking needs on my university year abroad thanks to their policy of charging no international fees. Loved it so much I now use it as my main bank account back in the U.K.! Reviewed on: 13th November 2019
