Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Easy and intuitive

I use Starling for my day to day banking and I find it so easy and intuitive. I struggle with mental health issues and it is incredible to get real time alerts saying how much I’ve spent and where. The very best feature though, is spaces! It has changed my life. I’m a terrible saver but Starling automatically round and up my purchases so I can save without ever thinking about it.

Publicizing features that don't work

Recurrent transfer from joint account to spaces feature do not work. Contacted by app and email to report, got mismatched feedback and message prompting user to use the functionality is still there, even though it doesn't work. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Everything just works so fast!

Money arrives instantly from cash deposits in post offices not like other banks that takes 2 days, you notification of spent money instantly, etc. There so many great things about this bank!! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Imaginative, intuitive & Impressive.

Constantly improving it's offering, an incredibly intuitive app and a new and impressive approach to banking. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent service

I am a new customer and so far I've been blown away by the service Starling offer. And the fact that it's all online is the cherry on top! No schlepping into branches to sort something out. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Transparent banking made easy

Most traditional banks make simple everyday banking difficult - particularly if you have a full time job! Starling allows you to resolve issues much quicker and you don’t have to stand in a long queue for hours. It just gets done. No hidden charges or fees like other banks.

Starling Bank

So easy going to set up and transfer money,not having to physically go down to a branch, great customer service. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Brilliant new bank for those who can cope with its focus on banking through a smartphone.

I have experienced no significant issues with functionality and the account is particularly valuable for enabling the customer to track spending in detail, plus for cost-effective use overseas (I maintain that it is the best of all the fintech accounts for use when abroad). Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easy to use, quick to set up

Excellent app allows access to my personal and joint account which can be switched between easily. Good customer service. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
