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!

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

Love this bank

They make banking fun

I’m a former head of strategic change at a high street bank, so I know how difficult it is to get banking right. Starling makes it look effortless. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

So simple

Everything about Starling Bank ticks all the boxes. The app is so simple to use, using Starling when travelling abroad couldn’t be easier and Customer Service Staff actually seem to want to help you and you don’t get put on hold for ages. Fantastic Bank. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Banking made easy

Our daughter opened a Starling Bank account as she was setting off for international travel and recommended we open an account too as the process was so easy. I did, and I'm so glad as I've been able to set savings goals in the 'spaces' which is inspiring me to save and keeping track is so easy. My husband was going overseas for work, so he set up an account too. Payments are quick and easy to set up. Overall the best bank I've used. No complications, just easy! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fantastic bank

So far have had a great experience from this bank. Easy to set up. Transactions quick easy to understand. I have the ability to put money in to different sections allowing me to manage my money much easier Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

The best bank I have used

Starling bank is incredible. Their application process is super easy and can be done any time anywhere with their app. My account was opened quickly and ready to use not long after my application. The app is extremely well designed, its packed full of features but it has a simple, easy to use interface which gives you the information you need at a glance and then is really easy to use for banking transactions and more. I have only needed to contact starling customer service once but it was a fantastic experience. It was easy to get through and they were professional and friendly and helped my with my query quickly and it was sorted first time. I recommend this bank highly and to everyone!
