Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

A bank that makes looking after your money so easy

I love that I can chat instantly with someone, and however obscure my question is, I get an answer really quickly. Getting interest on my money is a great bonus and the ease and speed of international transactions and the value for money is exceptional. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

The best bank in my phone keeps getting better

My account was set up immediately. It’s controled by a well thought out App. I never have to drive miles to find one or queue up in a bank. Transfers are instant, payments are instant and although I receive my receipts online I can pay in cash and cheques if I want to. There is a great support team who deal with issues immediately. I said after marrying my 2nd wife I would never fall in love again but I love Starling. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Better than the others

I have had an overwhelmingly positive experience with starling. Its simple, customer service is good, and it's already saved me over 100 pounds by having the very best exchange rates while I'm travelling. And there's no fee. Simply amazing. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great on line bank, constantly updating and easy to manage

I opened my account after issues with TSB. This is a FAR better bank Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A New Concept in Banking

I came across Starling Bank by chance on MSE, am I glad I did. I love the way I receive a text literally within seconds, even before the cash has come out of the cash machine or the cashier has handed over my receipt so I know that if the worst was to happen and someone was to steal my card and try to use it I would be notified instantly. I used the card in Australia & Hong Kong recently, market leading exchange rates and best of all no charges at all for overseas use, what a welcome change from normal high street bank accounts who normally charge £3-£5 for every £100 spent. The bank has the mentality of not wanting to stand still and wants to find new ways of banking that smash all the traditional ideas to bits, I have no hesitation in recommending this bank to other people, friends or strangers, and think you deserve not only the nomination but the top prize.

brilliant modern banking!

Brilliant modern banking. Excellent fast and friendly customer service instantly through phone chat, instant updates with every penny spent. Refreshing & easy - a big change from all the archaic fuddy duddy banking that we all grew up with! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent for every aspect my bank needs

Initially I went to Starling because of their Euro exchange rates, but as time has progressed I've bought into every relevant service they introduced. Excellent customer service, interest, introduction to collate my pensions into Pension Bee, immediate notifications, pay in to Post Office etc. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great account

I like everything about Starting starting from the beautiful card package, best exchange rates abroad, clarity of the information and a very good mobile app. Thanks Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
