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

Excellent banking experience, I've fully switched to Starling

I have had account with 6 High Street banks since I emigrated to the UK almost a decade ago. I've had bad experiences, and okay experiences. I've now fully switched to Starling, my salary is paid in to my account evrry month, and I am having an excellent banking experience. The sign up was very fast and smooth. Support has been nothing short of stellar. I run an IT service desk in a major public institution and I understand how difficult it is to get customer support right. Starling don't just do it properly, I've actually never experienced anything this good before. I have recommended this bank to all my friends, some have joined. Others have joined close competitors. I do have a secondary account with a major competitor app only bank, but Starling will remain my main bank. This is the way banking should be done. Long may it continue!

Amazing all round bank

Service is amazing, facilities are extensive, benefits are second to none. Starling Bank is the best bank ever. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Seamless Banking from the Off...

Setting up the account took minutes, my debit card arrived within days and my first (cheque) deposit was made without any fuss whatsoever. The online/mobile integration is first class, easy to use and so far faultless. Best banking I've had in nearly fifty years... Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent

Can't ask for more! Amazing app, great products on offer. Love the add to account from debit card feature. Innovation throughout. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Best bank account ever

This bank account has made my life so much easier. It’s a great bank with lots of amazing features. The app is so simple and updates me in everything. I’ve got 3 Bank account that I just don’t use anymore. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

New kid on the block

Starling is obviously a new bank in banking terms but it throws all the old school banking ways out the window and asks what does the customer want. For me personally i use this account instead of a traditional bank as its transactions are quicker, update me by notification, advise me of up coming payments if my account won't have enough starling sends me a notification. This bank is far superior to any other bank i know off. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easy/reliable

Never felt so great and sure about an online bank. Easy to use, fast and the opening is great, you can tell they make sure we are who we say we are. Also really great to use everywhere, even abroad without surprises. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great No-Hassle Bank

I love my experience with Starling bank. Easy to manage from my mobile, I have my main current account and a joint account with my partner. Additional functionality is added regularly. It's really great for spending when abroad and not a "rip-off" like traditional bank accounts when spending in foreign currencies. I have recommended this to all my friends and family.

An incredible Bankazing experience

Simple banking transactions in and out of an account and managing funds has seemingly always been an unnecessarily tardy affair.... - not so with Starling Bank ! Customer service has seemingly always been unavailable or more suited to the operation of the bank rather than the customer... - not so with Starling Bank ! An all round great experience !

Fabulous

Extremely intuitive, very simple and full of useful features. The customer support is also fantastic and easy. No stupid call centres and waiting around. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
