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

Easier, modern banking

No one needs to visit a high street bank anymore in this day and age. Starlings app is simple and user friendly and I know my money is protected by the FSCS. With separate pots that I can name, it is easy to save for my goals. Customer service is easy to contact in app. It has replaced my current account with a major high street bank. I'll only use Starling from now on. Also the biggest draw is fee free foreign spending!! Reviewed on: 9th June 2019

Wonderful and Clear

Everything about Starling Bank has been very easy to use. I switched from a more traditional bank account and in 15 years with that bank I never felt anywhere near as respected as a customer as I do now. Starling are incredibly transparent and very clearly focused on giving the customer a positive experience over price-gouging. Reviewed on: 6th June 2019

Now with EUR account

Conversion between GBP and EUR is free which is just amazing. Reviewed on: 16th May 2019

Foreign currency

Starling is great for using abroad, my card was invaluable whilst travelling throughout Asia. Reviewed on: 10th May 2019

interesting app based bank

easy app, good messaging when payments are due or money comes out of account. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2019

Great

A real challenge to high street banks. Reviewed on: 29th April 2019

Amazing

Changing the banking industry for the better. I no longer trust the banks (any of them) following the crash but these guys are creating a banking revolution along with Monzo. Stuff your branches, cheque books and foreign transaction fees. Switch to respectable company who go above and beyond to demonstrate you’re more than just ‘a number’. Reviewed on: 21st April 2019

Excellent, serous competitor

This bank has an excellent app interface that helps me keep track of my spending, save money, and is aesthetically pleasing. I like their website which also contains useful tools, as well as articles that contain tips on various financial services, and are interesting to read. The card also looks excellent, and charges no fees for foreign currency transactions. Nothing negative to say about Starling. Reviewed on: 20th April 2019

easy to keep on top of transactions

simple set up, contactless card, instant notifications of transactions Reviewed on: 15th April 2019

Best bank by far!

Switching to this bank was the best thing I ever did! The switch service was very fast and actually worked with all my incoming and outgoings, and even transferred all my saved payees! They dont have ridiculous bank charges and I love the app! The rounding up saving spaces is the only way I have ever managed to save successfully! Such a brilliant idea! Reviewed on: 9th April 2019
