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

Beyond fantastic, seriously!

Brilliant bank, 24/7 british customer support, instant internet/phone banking, everything is streamlined. I seriously cannot believe there wasnt a bank like this before starling! Absolutely phenominal. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easy banking

I use my Starling account as a secondary account for general spending. Logging in is simple and quick, making monitoring easier. The app provides spending insights which is also very useful for budgeting. I like the fact that you can see a copy of your physical card in app, which helps when online shopping. You can see a pending transaction straight away rather than 2-3 days later. There is the ability to set up quick saving spaces. In general, the app is streamlined - making transfers, purchases, saving - all is very efficient. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Banking at its best

Finally a clear and transparent bank that simplifies my finances. The app allows you to see spending in real time and no charges on overseas spending and withdrawals means I get to keep more of my money. Customer service team are the best I have had to deal with. Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

So easy to use and everything is suited to a visual experience of managing your money, from where you’re spending to where you are with your saving goals. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Instantaneous update

Brilliant mobile app. Used my card abroad and as soon as I was within Wi-Fi range I had a notification telling me how much I paid, where and how much both in foreign currencies and GBP. It's a fantastic mobile account that makes you feel in control of your money at all times. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
