Starling Bank Current account reviews (27427)

A 21st century bank

I would happily recommend Starlings Bank to friends and family. A Starlings account has everything that one could need in a current account. It is administered entirely on-line and is so quick and easy. A true 21st Century bank. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Best bank

Fantastic customer service and love all the notifications and innovation. The API is good for automation too Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Best banking experience

Easily the best banking experience, app and customer service out there Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great bank

A great banking service, Not had a problem yet. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Setup is easy, running is painless

I was looking for a bank that wouldn't charge me for using a debit card abroad. It took only moments to open an account and I now use it for all my debit transactions,particularly contactless. My phone "pings" within seconds of any transaction. Checking my balance couldn't be easier and they even pay interest. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Just good

Great features, such as saving goals, instant notifications for spent money, geolocation of where you spent the money, put multiple bank accounts under one person's name, round up saving feature, lets you know scheduled payments, gives you granular control of your debit card and lots more. It's very speedy and efficient. Customer service is great at answering messages. No complaints. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Everything just works

Everything on the app works very well and is very easy to use and understand Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A terrific experience

Incredibly easy to apply & setup my current account with an overdraft immediately activated. I love that I am notified straight away of any activity regarding my account, even when a contactless payment is made. Despite being a new bank I believe Starling is putting established high street banks to shame. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Revolutionary banking

Love my starling account, best account for travelling abroad with no fees. Amazing app, just luv it Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Amazing modern 21st century bank

Just a great bank where I can properly organise my money at a glance on my phone. I honestly couldn't go back to other 'typical' banks. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
