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

Best bank I have used

Everything about Starling bank has been great. Being solely available to use on an app, banking with Starling has been intuitive, fast and also profitable as they actually pay interest unlike many mainstream banks. I have had to contact customer services a couple of times with simple queries and the online chat through the app has sufficed, with quick responses. I much prefer this to having to call and the app makes it so simple. Since I began using it more features have been added, the app has been improved and I actually enjoy banking with them.

DISGRACEFUL

Don't not trust this bank with your money I have had my account shut for no reason I know off whatsoever and then being told they cant tell me why and then saying there was no funds in my account when I know full well there was I will be taking this issue all the way DON'T SAY YOU WASN'T WARNED Reviewed on: 25th March 2019

Offered me £750 incentive to switch but kept the money.

I was offered a £750 incentive to switch banks from Natwest to Starling. I made the switch and was expecting my incentive to be credited to my new account "Within 7 days" The switch happened however 9 days later and the incentive payment still hasn't been credited to my new account. So far I have contacted Starling twice and all they say is "Someone from the Business switch team will be in contact with you" Please think seriously before switching your bank account to Starling.
