Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Lack of support from the Post Officce.

Since I started using Starling Bank. any problems I have had have been overcome extremely quickly, One problem that always niggles is that if the cash machine is out of order the Post Office won't help you but they will help anyone from any other bank. Reviewed on: 12th October 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Glad you've had a good experience overall. Sorry the Post Office hasn't been the same. You should be able to take out a maximum of £300 at the Post. However, not all Post Offices will be able to do this all the time due to the amount of cash held. Response date: 22nd October 2024

Nice and easy to use the app is brilliant had no issues the only thing is it would be nice to see a Starling bank branch because I'm old school and hate technology so if i got a problem i prefer to sort it face to face and it's easier rather than being on the phone for an hour going through 12 different departments for one thing other than that it's all good Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Enjoy the app that starling provide it’s so easy to use I feel very confident in using this bank everything is user friendly Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Fantastic current account

Fantastic current account, the interface is streamlined and ergonomic, everything is where it should be. Great for all ages, would especially recommend to those proficient with smartphones, as this banking app excels where others can feel clunky. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

My number 1 choice if you send money abroad

Starling is so easy to set up. I first started with an business account as secondary account for my business. Since then, I have a personal account which is my main account now and I have a new business where I have opened up another business account. i also have a property in Spain and using Starling I have saved so much money on charges as I use their basic service as it is my own account that I am transferring to. Being able to use the app to do this is amazing as before I have to log in on my laptop and add all my details over and over again and the money took around 3 days where in Starling it can be as quick as the same day. However, it would be better if you could transfer money abroad over the weekend and on a bank holiday. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Just so easy

Easy set up, great info sent out regularly and love the “spaces” Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Starling is great!

Starling is great! So easy to use and with so many great features like the spaces. Now that I can split incoming money to spaces using percentages it’s even better! And the fact that I don’t have to pay a few for foreign currency transactions has always been my favourite thing. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024
