Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

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

Very easy to set up account. Excellent exchange rates with no cost. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

An outstanding bank, with top quality customer service and an easy to access app

Starling seems to go above and beyond when dealing with customers, in my experience, I have never had a rude or unhelpful communication with them and any qualms that I had have always been dealt with swiftly. Their app is easy to navigate, simple, fast, aesthetically at a high standard and functions without fault. On top of that the notifications when you spend via card ensure that my usually over zealous spending is kept in check as I am able to see what I am spending. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Super slick & simple

Everything works and is super effective. Everything thought through and intuitive and full service unlike many other fintechs! Great! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Innovate,current,responsive.

I have had to contact Starling on a few occasions, I have to say they were brilliant. Immediate actioning and alerts you almost immediately.It is almost as if nothing was to much trouble to ask,then what I was informed they would action was done.I couldn't be happier.
