Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Great service easy to use

If you ever need help there is more than enough ways to get help app based chat, email an Phone. Friendly service. Only downside for me is that I'm not able to buy shares in it at this moment I love the way they work and the service they give o would like to buy into then in any small way possible.

Does what it says on the tin.

Has helped me get my finances together! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Quick and easy

No hassle very quick and easy, easy to understand Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Simple, clear and appropriate

A simple current account set up without any real fuss or effort. Clear and basic terms, fees and approach. This is so vitally needed in the banking world. Most banks have either too much small print or bombard you to take out other products to make THEM money. Its great to finally see a bank which allows the consumer breathing space. The app is immediate in its notifications of any change to your account. I think other banks should stop and have a look at what's going on here. Times have very much changed. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Much prefer the app to Natwest

I have recently moved from NatWest to Starling due to the fact the app provides features that I need such as notifications and the ability to categorise all my payments. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Unique and Innovative

Fantastic app, service via online chat is a great service, customer centric, easy to us, continually delivering new features, exactly how a bank should be!! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Superb!

Simply everything you could want from a bank. Foreign transactions are just as they should be - fee free and at the best rate, a "must have" for traveling. Instant bank transfers with up to the minute notifications. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fabulous

Excellent ways of helping me manage my money by using spaces. Also excellent for traveling abroad, as no fees. Very much focused on helping customers make the most of their money. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easy to apply, great app!

The service I've had has been great. The app just works, notifications confirm all my transactions (I use contactless almost exclusively). When I had a query it was answered quickly. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Seamless, Convenient Banking

How a banking experience should be, simple, convenient and always available. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
