Starling Bank Current account reviews (27427)

My favourite bank, innovative and forward thinking.

I’ve had a starling account for over a year and love it. It has so many more features than the more traditional banks, and their customer service is second to none. I’ve never missed the fact they don’t have physical branches, as you can pay in at the post office. Perfect! Reviewed on: 8th November 2019

I was a bit worried about moving from a "big bank" to what was an unknown bank. It's been about 3 since the move and it's been great! The app is incredible, the customer service has always been helpful and also resolved issues first time. I'm loving where this bank is going and I'm fully invested. Highly recommended 100% Reviewed on: 8th November 2019
