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

Great features, brilliant app, always improving

As well as having fantastic features in the app, the service is always improving with new/extra features and ideas being implemented. The customer service is also super good! Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Curious to loyal customer

Have been a customer for a couple of years and the service seems only to improve. No faults at all so far Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Excellent service, unmatched app.

I have had a couple of reasons to contact Starling Bank customer support, and on both occasions the reply was almost instant and excellently handles by friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. On one occasion they even went out of their way to help me with problems I was having with ANOTHER BANK even though they could easily have just not taken the time. An excellent team, a superb CEO and a bank that is their customers. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

More like STAR-ling

I have been a Starling customer for almost over a year now. Never have I ever felt such a strong connection and a sense of brand loyalty as I have with Starling Bank. As a multidisciplinary creative designer, I am automatically drawn to things that are visually pleasing and can create a beautiful experience - Starling Bank did just that for me. Not only was it incredibly easy to open an account but I was completely blown away by how self explanatory everything was. A few days later I receive my Bank card and from that day onwards I have been in love with Starling. From the moment I received a thick paper that enveloped my beautiful mint green bank card, I knew I had found something special here. This was the first time I noticed the card was printed vertically and not horizontally which is traditionally how it's done but that only shows how much thought Starling Bank puts into things because nowadays we use our cards vertically for everything - from inserting them into ATMs to tapping it on contactless machines. Moreover the app is so pleasing and easy to use. Transferring money is super fast and super easy with the ability to send money to people near you using a Starling account. Lastly, I cannot stress on how amazing the customer service is. Everytime I have had an issue all I do is go to the app and I can chat to someone 24/7. Cannot recommend Starling enough. Best regards, Shah Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Banking getting better

My experience with Starling to date has been absolutely fantastic. It's simple and intuitive to use the app and they are transparent and fair with their pricing. I am looking forward to see how Starling evolves to becoming the best bank in the country. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Best Bank

I'm finally managing my money!

Managing my money in real time, always knowing exactly how much money I'm spending, saving in a visual way all through an app with amazing customer service is a revelation to me! After decades of debt and poor money management I'm excited about looking after the money I work so hard to earn! Reviewed on: 12th November 2019

Everything they said and more, cannot fault them, anywhere! Reviewed on: 12th November 2019
