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

Banking thats changed how money works

Since switching to Starling Bank using the CASS (Current Account Switching Service), my relationship with money has changed massively! With real time spending alerts, budgeting tools, free overseas spending and snazzy market place integrations (like Flux) I’ve had more control and insight than ever before!

Everything you never knew you needed in a bank

I was sceptical of an app only bank at first but I opened an account 9 months ago & gave it a go. I was so impressed with the app, all the different features & how easy it is to contact someone when needed that I've now taken the plunge & switched my current account to them. I'm very happy so far. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Excellent service & great value for money

Great app, well designed, responsive and comprehensive. Excellent rates when using outside UK. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

So simple.

The best bit for me is always knowing how much money I have left with instant notifications. No longer do I wait two days for my bank to update the transaction. Amazing! Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Incredible bank

Very easy Bank to use. They give a lot a feature not currently provided by the main high street banks. They also have a very friendly customer service. I am very happy to be their customer. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

5 star banking

Starling Bank has created something special; banking as it should be. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Best current account

I recently travelled abroad and used my current account/debit card to make purchases. There were no fees (like other high street banks or credit card providers) and when paying in the local currency, Starling uses the MasterCard exchange rate. I love the notifications when a direct debit is due or when money is received into the account. Honestly can’t fault it. I’ve already recommended Starling to my friends! Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Best bank... ever!

I’ve been full Starling since May 2017. I’ve completely changed the way i manage money. Love Starling! Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Great Bank

Joined 6 months ago and love the instant features and I even got my partner to join. We have ditched the old broken way of banking and joined the new way of banking with Starling! Love the bank and the app... looking forward to cheque scanning to become live and also credit cards Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Customer centric bank

Best bank out there. From opening the account that took minutes to ordering a new card. So quick and simple the way banking should be with the customer in control. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019
