Starling Bank Current account reviews (27427)

Amazing and easy to set up

The app is layed out amazingly. It is easy to use and really easy to set up! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Spot on

Completely mobile and no unnecessary high street banks. Money is in real time, unlike other major banks, and having multiple saving spaces is a credit to them. I can round up to certain accounts and spending summary is excellent. These and Monzo are the future. Watch out high street banks, the end is nigh... Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Just love it

Starting bank presented an account that was exactly what I was looking for. As well as all the technical benefits; it has a really nice layout and it’s easy to use. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Best current account I've ever had

It has all started as a trial from my high street bank and now Starling is my day to day account and I can't praise it enough. Great bank and great service. My favourite is the roundup feature! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Brilliant customer service and easy to use

From start to finish the application process was easy and simple to navigate. My daughter has now got an account as well and has gone travelling for a year knowing her banking will be easy. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Top notch banking service

Great app with easy to use features, no hassle banking service with lots of help at hand if needed Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fab banking app

Really easy to set-up and then create a joint account. Excellent additional features to keep track of spending and help with saving target. Plus an intuitive, easy-to-use app. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

So easy

Starting bank make my life easy and so simple Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Disappointing service

Very annoying how you are unable to do anything over the phone. Will be switching banks as the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A breath of fresh air.

I remember once taking an hour and a half to open a simple savings account with a traditional bank. With Starling I could do this in real time, using my phone. Great experience and compared to previous experiences with overpriced borrowing and charges I could apply for an overdraft facility without going anywhere. My application was quickly approved and charges are very fair and well explained. I now consider Starling to be my main current account and have moved most transactions and direct debits to this account. They communcate well. The in-app customer support chat is polite and helpful with any queries. The marketplace idea is forward looking. Payments are fast and notifications too which gives me most realtime way to manage my money. Starling is my favourite bank and deserve to win an award. Very happy they report to equifax and Call Credit (Noddle), though currently not yet Experian. This should be possible in future. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
