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

21st century Bank account

Brilliant bank account. Unlike other banks, it really feels like that Starling cares about its customers! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fantastic Bank

Can’t praise enough this Bank. The fact that you can see your transactions instantly even abroad, which means the Bank doesn’t hold your money, is just something you need nowadays to be able to effectively manage your finances. Transfers are dead easy and their cards look fab as well Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Ease of use and clear explanation on charges

I have been a customer of Starling since the launch and the experience has been amazing. The signup was easy but comprehensive and the way you can make payments and review account status and options through the app has been cleverly thought out. I would have no hesitation in recommending Starlind and can see them growing to be a leading Bank. Well done Starling! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

The future of banking

Starling have changed the face of banking, it's so easy to use, quick to set up, great for saving and tracking spending. Whenever I talk to a friend/family member/ work colleague that hasn't heard of stsrling I end up going through all the festures with them and generally they go away bu the end and sign up ! A lot of people ask me of I work for them as that's how much I believe in the product. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great app

Have been using Starling as my main current account for almost a year. The app is great - can't recommend it highly enough. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

They are simply amazing!

Honestly, I don’t like giving reviews but I have to for this bank because they’ve helped a lot. It feels like they have a great new feature on the app everyday. They have a section to help you create goals and split them into different sections to save. They’d update about how much left to reach your goal. You can get e-statements really quick. I just love them. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

So easy

I joined Starling Bank as I could easily pay abroad with my debit card without those penalizing charges of other banks. The account set up was easy and super fast; and I love the way the account updates immediately with a debit, confirming the details. No issues with my card abroad both in using ATMs or paying with debit card and the app makes banking so easy. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Recommended to all my friends

Amazing banking app. Used it extensively whilst holidaying out in Florida. The massive bonus is being able to track your spending realtime. Already recommended to all my friends and family.. keep it up Starling :) Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great bank

I love how I have been kept informed on all that is happened with the bank . All the services they offer are more then adequate for the current banks. I start paying attention more to my bank account . I’m in control now on my finances . And no delays in any transactions Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Straight forward how it should be

Starling Bank is the most refreshing thing to happen to banking since the plastic £10 note, every transaction shows as a notification including when money comes in and small touches like showing money in before employers for example release the payment for payday, transactions you make are shown in detail and arranged in online banking with the details and even a map at the top of the transaction which is optional to click on to show where the transaction took place, there are many many more perks and best of all it costs nothing Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
