Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Amazing bank

The bank, App, Features and customer service is top notch, gladly switched from a well known old school archaic bank and so glad I did! Most high street banks aren't changing for the better or keeping up with the times and improving their technology like the new technologies like this amazing bank, really simple to use and safe and convenient. Thanks starling Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent service

I joined Starling in desperation having had bad experiences using online services with several other banks. Best decision I ever made. Their customer service is outstanding and the phone app has been extremely well designed - easy to use and enables access to all aspects of ones account. Cannot recommend Starling Bank highly enough. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Game changing!

Honest moving to starling is one of the best things I have done. The app is so easy & user friendly and I am so much more away of my day to day spending. I love the instant payment notifications, setting up goals, rounding up spenidng to save to name a few features. And so obvious but having my card number in my phone is also just a well thought out part of the app. I genuinelly was aprehensive about moving to app only banking - but Starling is simply excellent!

Perfection

Everything about Starling is just perfect. The sign up takes minutes, rather than days, no messing about. Their customer service is exceptionally fast and responsive, the app is easy to use, and just everything about Starling rocks. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Bank of 2019

I was a loyal customer of another High Street back up until recently, like most of the top banks, nothing had really changed with them since I joined over ten years ago. I had heard of Starling through Money Saving Expert and decided to open an account for a holiday I was planning. The simpleness, user friendly app based backing experience just blew me away! Transaction notifications, ability to store money away in spaces which were not a separate account, instant transfers and pending payments were all features of a bank that should exist in 2019! It's a bank of the future, in the present. As soon as I got home from my holiday I switched, and I'm never going back! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fantastic

It asks how likely I am to recommend Starling bank to another person, since finding them I have already got 5 of my friends to do the same, the app is so sleek and easy to use and everything you need is in one place. And the constant strive for improvement is amazing. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fantastic!

I’ve never used an app based bank account before. Starling was recommended to me. I’m so glad I started using them. Easy to open the account, service is fantastic and the app is far superior to any of the high street banks. I currently do my main banking with Nationwide, but I’m now going to transfer everything to Starling. Keep up the good work! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Modern, convenient bank

I have a personal and joint account with Starling Bank. The app is very intuitive and easy to use. I can manage both accounts quickly and conveniently. Their customer service number is 24 hour and I can easily pay in cheques with the Freepost option. Great bank! Keep doing what you do Starling. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Quick and easy

Just amazing from the word go really. I was really apprehensive to start with but so so glad I made the jump Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Innovative banking

Easiest account to set up, great app means I always have my bank with me, when I've needed customer service response has been immediate and everyone comments on my cool bank card! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
