Starling Bank Current account reviews (27464)

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

Painless instant banking

Easy to switch banks, earn interest rather than pay monthly fee, comprehensive and user-friendly app with instant alerts on all transactions. Also additional features to allow for savings and other personal goals. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Excellent product.

Very good product - intuitive and easy to use. Great customer service. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Wonderful Bank

Great bank! Totally changed my finances. Great app, great overdraft rates and it just works. Thank you to all the people that have made Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Simple and brilliant

Being able to see all expenses and spending in one place saves so much time and allows energy to be diverted away from finances and back into enjoying myself. I know it is secure and am excited to see the new features in 2020. The Marketplace introduces other useful finance providers. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Absolutely fabulous!!

Easy to set up - easy too use - innovative, current, modern! Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Simple brilliance.

It is the best app. Others have more options but the simplicity is its main assets. It's like the Apple of the mobile banking sector, getting things that simple is complex and they do it brilliantly. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Avoid if you are etnic minority

Please avoid this bank if you are from an ethnic minority. They will racially profile you after letting you save significant sums and try very hard to hold onto your hard earned money . You have been warned ! Stay away ! Reviewed on: 3rd July 2019

Great looking app but beware

Beware. Whilst the apps looks great, take extreme caution when trying to make material payments through Starling. I was due to Complete the purchase of a commercial property on 27th June and had to move a sizeable sum to my solicitor. I phoned at 7.40am to temporarily lift the £25k threshold. 6 hours later, despite 9 calls to the Service Centre and 3 messages, the payment still hadn't been made. A credit block was put on the app which despite being told had been lifted, wouldn't allow me to process the payment. Different calls to different people at their service centre just went in circles. The same repeat suggestions were made and none worked. I was palmed off a couple of times with the line 'our technical people are looking at it'. Just short of 7 hours later the payment manged to go out but I've lost all credibility with my lawyer and also the developer. Great apps but this was the 1 time I really needed the bank to work and it let me down. Reviewed on: 27th June 2019

Banking for the digital age.

A bank on my phone 24hrs a day. The app is slick and very easy to use. Makes my old bank look a bit ancient. Reviewed on: 18th June 2019
