Starling Bank Current account reviews (27464)

So easy to use and very well designed for the current generation of phone comatosed humans

The whole app and bank is excellent from the ease of transferring money, to the several different saving spaces you can add and the round up feature I’m nearly a year in and very very impressed Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Best ever

Wished I changed earlier. Banking is now easy Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

The best bank and app bank available!

5
I have Starling and Monzo and Starling wins every time. Monzo’s user experience is so cluttered and confusing. Half the time I don’t know where to go and then they change it completely again. Their notifications are also so annoying and the app is so buggy. I have been reporting a bug of duplicate notifications for a year and I constantly get logged out. It’s kind of like snapchat but a bank - too much. Starling is solid - never has bugs - clear elegant user friendly interface. You never have to worry. It just works for everything from international payments, standing orders or paying your friends. All other banks I cannot even use because their apps are so bad. Bless Barclays with their “new terms and conditions please accept” every, single, time, I login. I actually cannot. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

New Customer - Delighted!

I switched from another bank to Starling and it has been so easy. From opening the account to sorting out an overdraft, it’s all just been slick and easy. I love the marketplace too and have signed up to have my rent added to my credit score with one of the third parties. I would never have known I could do that without Starling. The app is easy to use and intuitive - I just love it and would never go back to a ‘traditional’ bank in future. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Best bank by a country mile!
