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

Great bank to bank with

Using the Starling Bank card on international trips to pay for expenses is such a breeze. No extra charges in terms of commission and rates which is peace of mind really! The mobile app is also very straightforward to use. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

This is so far the best current account

When I travel, I'm using the card with the best exchange rates. They could lift the daily limit from £300 to at least £500. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Simple and safe

Says it all above Very easy to use Very fast in process Highly recommended Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

First class

By far the best bank available on the market. No messing or overcharging, just straight up speedy customer service Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Innovation bank

Although the process was very thorough, it was easy to open my account and, once open, I was pleasantly surprised to find I had been allocated an overdraft facility. Everything that Starling Bank does seems to defy the traditional high street bank in an extremely innovative and beneficial way and I cannot envisage, with all the technology Starling has, changing back to a 'High Street' bank ever again. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Perfect app

Amazing app, looks great, good functionality, would recommend to anyone! Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

No more overseas transaction charges

Excellent account if you travel a lot, best exchange rates and no fees, no limit to how many sub accounts you can set up to save. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

So refreshing!

I'm so pleased I took the plunge and opened an account. It was scary for me, but so worth it. My worries were unfounded. I've had my eyes opened and I wouldn't go back now. The service has been brilliant. My queries have all been answered very quickly and with patience. The app is very easy to use - it's excellent. I love the instant notifications. I can't fault anything. I would definitely recommended it. I ended up opening a couple of "these new modern accounts" to see which I liked best. I choose Starling for the above reasons. Thank you Starling. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019
