Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Modern banking as it should be

Having a nicely designed app, quick customer service and an easy to use system makes this feel like modern banking. I haven’t switched everything yet as I know they are new and will still be ironing out issues but overall it is great. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Overall great banking experience

This bank is great. From just downloading the app, Setting up your account, and the ease of setuping up payments it's all so initiative. The app is also great at exposing where you cash is going so you can budget and cut back on those things if need be. However the overseas experience is where this is above most banks as you just pay overseas and this card charges you the the mastercard equivalent rate of exchange which is as close to the spot rate as most I have seen so is great. Overall great banking experience so far. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

No nosence bank

Love everything about this bank. From effortless opening of the account to easy budgeting. And all that without having to speak to anyone. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent for budgeters

I absolutely loved how simple this account was to set up . I love the alerts when any activity on my account it's useful but also makes you feel more secure and as a budgeter I cannot praise the pot system highly enough , being able to round to pound is also a great concept . Brings banking into modern era and encourages people to manage there money ,.well done Starling Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Simplicity personified

Outstanding service, easy to set up and once you are there Starlings app makes banking very easy for everyone, controlling your account in the palm of your hand, I'm not surprised that other mainstream banks are following in Starlings footsteps. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Everything just works. Instant transactions and a pleasure to use. International features are fantastic too! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easy

This has to be the easiest to use bank account I have. Everything is open and accessable. When money is lodged I get an almost instant notification. It is handy that my daily spend is instantly available. Established banks need to catch up. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

User friendly bank account

The bank services are good and they are constantly working on little tweaks to make my experience great. It feels personal even though I have not met anyone from Starling. I get interest for my money which is rare with the bigger banks. Not tied up in Jargon . Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
