Starling Bank Current account reviews (27464)

Simple, Sexy and Sophisticated

What an amazing bank. In the newest sense of the word they are a fantastic “bank”. Easy to manage my money. Combined with a modern feel they are the future! Bosh! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Great

So easy to set up and use. Great FX rates Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

The future of banking

Signing up to Starling was far easier than to a traditional bank. The banking app, the virtual version of a bank branch, has every feature you need and there is little compromise from the traditional sort. My favourite features of the app are the ‘spent today’ section and sorting expenses by merchant or type, and I really like how there is no surcharge to its use abroad. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Wish all banks were this simple and effective

Though my current account was only opened on a whim, it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. By far the best functioning app and customer service. Very responsive. Fortunately I’m a high net worth account holder with my main bank so I haven’t fully transitioned just yet. But I will be moving my 2 other current accounts to starling permanently. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Extremely user friendly

Very responsive customer service. The banking app works like a dream and not having to pay any fees when using the bank card abroad is amazing. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Simply Straightforward Starling

I'm not particularly up-to-date with technology, but opening a new starling account using only my mobile phone was plain sailing. Once your account is open the app information is clear, relevant straighforward and uncomplicated to use. I especially like the simplicity of monthly 'spending' and income page, plus the ability to set and personalise categories on your transactions. I have used the Starling Mastercard abroad and unlike any other bank they do not charge for using your card or withdrawals from a cash machine. They pay interest on current accounts and notify you immediately of any transactions made. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Simplicity Banking

Amazing Bank, like the services. Easy to use. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

The bank with benefits that matches a busy lifestyle

This bank has been 1 an absolute life saver, 2 the best bank that I brag about all the time and 3 the only bank that sent me really good chocolate for them messing up a little and I mean it was something insignificant but they still said sorry with chocolate. Keep up the good work, best bank ever Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Banking made easy.
