Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Fantastic modern bank

Having had accounts at several banks over the years, I can honestly say that Starling has impressed me the most. They are modern and efficient and come out ahead of my second best - First Direct. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Epic

Great customer experience and really good app Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Works

So much better than my old-school bank. Upcyo-date balance is the crucial one, but "spaces" is also so helpful. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great Service

I opened an account with Starling primarily to use while travelling in Switzerland and Germany as they offer fee free transactions in Swiss Francs and Euros, with an exchange rate that easily beats high street bureaux de change. Since then I have been using Starling for day to day sterling transactions. I love the real time notifications of spending and the ease of using the app. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Hassle free real time banking

It just works well! Real time notifications are great and they keep hassle to the minimum Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

simple banking

Have been with starling for a year now. Took less than few minutes to set up. Any queries answered within few hours. Real time notifications. Better than any high street banks. Shame cant have a business account with more than 1 director. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent bank

I’ve moved both previous bank accounts over to Starling because I think it’s brilliant, fast, safe and has excellent customer service Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Best bank ever

Next generation bank, this is the future of banking Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Simple setup, quick responses, brilliant bank

Have started an account to use with fitbit pay and I am loving the simplicity, the great app, the response times from Starling. Considering switching my main account here. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Does Things Others Can't

So easy to move my old account to Starling. Could monitor everything via the app. Able to use Google and Samsung pay which many other banks don't do. Many added features over a brick and mortar bank. I feel like I have complete control. Best features being added regularly. Easy to reach customer services who try hard to accurately and quickly deal with any issues. Best of all its free!
