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

Amazing

Everything just runs so smoothly and works in a logical way Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Perfect

Setting up the account is super easy, even an additional Euroaccount is set up in seconds. Great as a citizen of a Eurozone country that’s in the UK to study! Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

More transparent banking

Being notified about what's being spent and any upcoming payments allows you to stay more in control of your money. People always get burnt by payments they forget about, and then spend a bit extra that month only to find they've then gone overdrawn. Starling's app helps prevent this, and since I've switched I've felt more in control of my money, and it's really helped me get back on track with saving, as well as offering some useful tools within the app to help boost your savings month after month.

Best bank ever

App is easy to use, love the instant notifications, great customer service Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Best bank I've been with.

Starling is so easy and intuitive to use, the round up function makes saving so easy and effortless, so much so it's enabled me to afford a holiday to Japan. Everything is at your fingers including help when it's required Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

The best challenger bank

Slick app, zero FX, and payment notifications. What more could you want? Unlike some other challengers, rather than just talking about features, actually implements them. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

It just works!

Convenient, hassle-free banking all done through the beautifully designed mobile app. Helpful and friendly customer service team through the app is responsive to requests and questions. Being able to deposit cash at post offices without a charge for personal accounts is a big plus. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019
