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

Easy to us and brilliant for budgeting and saving

Since opening our starling current account last year, we have never budgeted so well or saved so well. The ‘spaces’ feature is excellent! The app is easy to use and customer services are easy to contact. I recommend this to everyone! Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Best bank ever

Use my starling account for travel , I get instant notifications about activity any where in the world , always the best exchange rates and top class security Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Still the best current account!

I've been with Starling Bank since November 2017. In that time I've moved all my banking to them and they've continually improved the services on offer. They still provide unlimited free cash withdrawals abroad, unlike most other banks that have an upper limit on how much you can withdraw, along with fee-free spending in any currency. They have introduced free cash deposits at any Post Office. You can round up your transactions and save the pennies in a "Goal" - a great way of saving without even realising you're doing it! There are really useful spending insights by category and merchant. You get advance notification of Direct Debits leaving your account and incoming BACS credits. Payee management is very easy - you can set up one contact then attach multiple bank accounts to them. All of this with no hidden fees, very fair overdraft rates and great customer service. I recommend Starling Bank to all my friends and family and am really looking forward to see what innovations they introduce to the app next! Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Starling Bank is now used as my main bank account.

Starling Bank has proven to be bank of choice. The customer service is too notch and really helped when I lost my card abroad. The notifications are brilliant to allow me to keep track of how much is leaving and coming into my account. I also enjoy the marketplace where it allows your account to be connected to other financial apps to further enhance your money. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Absolutely amazing

The fact that I’ve got an Irish account/EU account and a British account all in one card it’s absolutely fantastic and such a great idea. And it’s been something I’ve been looking for for years thank you Starling well done to you and all your team . Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Top Class app and service

No more to say. Just the best out there!!! Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Easy to Save

Easy to save with the app and saving pots, and the app itself is really easy to use Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

Excellent bank!

Innovative, easy to use & trustworthy. What more could you ask for? Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

I've recommended it to everyone i know and they love it!

It's the best banking app for the modern world. Everything's digital and so quick you can speak to a customer service team and get all your questions answered within minutes. It makes saving so easy because you have folders you can put savings into for different things. It also tells you what you've spent and puts your spending into categories so you can see what percent of your earnings you spend on what. Would highly recommend if you're fed up of the long processes of standard banks and if you want to keep track of your spending and save. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

It's all so easy.

I opened a Starling account just over a year ago and although I am totally familiar with online banking, these people have taken it to another level. The app is SO easy and SO fast and every aspect of my relationship with Starling is SO brilliant. One day all online banking will be like this. Reviewed on: 6th November 2019
