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

Always been good but getting better

Was a great banking experience from the start but they’ve gradually made it better and better. I like everything about it and have already recommended to several people who have joined Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Smart, clear, simple

Love you the clear simplicity of this app and account. And the £300 of daily fee-free foreign withdrawals is unmatched. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Easy and honest

I needed a new bank account at short notice which would allow me to safely pay for things whilst in the USA and at the same time not charging me to do so. The time to set up the account was incredibly fast, I got my card through within 3 working days and the app was easy and informative with good security features. Their overdraft options are fairer than most banks and their methods for helping people save are welcomed in this uncertain and financial downturn most of us seem to be in at the moment. All of this equals a very happy customer. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Brilliantly simple

This bank is just brilliant - they make setting up payments, transferring money, setting up savings really easy. Setting up an account took 10 mins and the card arrived in a few days. The Ap is great and being able to categorise your spends is a great feature Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Why isnt everyone banking with Starling

Great service, products and app. My favourite thing about Starling is the ethos. Other banks should be grateful to them for giving the reputation of the banking profession a boost. Also, female CEO and founder... say no more. Thanks for leading the way, Starling! Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Bests all high Street banks

Easy to use. Always available. Excellent customer service. Low overdraft charges. Complete control over your account. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Wicked

So easy to use online, self explanatory, never a problem with any of my banking experiences. Fit for purpose. Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Best bank ever

I love this bank. So easy to use and the best thing is I am notified after every transaction. Can block my card with one tap if fraud occurs Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Excellent, sleek

I've used a few challenger banks (all being better than my experience of classic banks), stealing had been the best experience. Sleeker than Mondo/Monzo and where as I have my mortgage with atom, they don't do current accounts. Starling by far my favourite. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019

Amazing bank

I am delighted with Starting Bank. It is easy to set up the app and very user friendly. I particularly like the real time account balance and instant notification together with notifications of pending direct debits. Customer service is exceptional- no waiting on the phone and always accessible. It is the way forward in banking. I have recommended to friends/family . Reviewed on: 10th February 2019
