Fantastic banking

This is the future of banking and Starling Bank is winning the race by a long margin. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Bloody brilliance!

Been a breath of fresh air moving to starling. My favourite feature is everything is instant. Contactless payment show up instantly. Withdrawing cash out of paypal is instant. Transferring to friends couldn’t be easier just enter name and details and poof its gone. You can even save a pic of them to the profile. Create your own saving pits is really easy and handy to have. One last thing is that paying money into my post office is brilliant as there are like 4 times more post offices than a certain type of bank and some are open on sundays. I haven’t even metioned the other great features ill let you find out for yourself. Thanks Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Amazing current account product

Being using Starling Current Account as my main account for over a year and the app, design, robustness, customer service are really first class and getting better and better. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Best bank by far!

I switched all my banking to Starling Bank in May 2018 and am delighted I did! The list of features and benefits is long and includes: eye-catching vertical MasterCard debit card, instant notifications, spending insights, great payee management including photos/logos, free cash deposits at any Post Office, savings Goals where you can ringfence funds away from your main balance, automated roundups of transactions into a savings Goal, card controls that let you lock your card if you misplace it (and unlock it if and when it turns up), a fair overdraft that takes into account money reserved in Goals, interest on credit balances, fee-free foreign spending and ATM withdrawals, advance notification of incoming credits and outgoing Direct Debits, the ability to block gambling transactions, foreign currency transfers at great rates, extremely quick account setup (2-3 minutes) and a very well designed app. I've recommended Starling Bank to a number of friends and family members and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a modern, app-based current account.

Easy to use, thought of everything

App built from the ground up for good user experience, including all customer service. Love it and although I work for a major bank this is my main account. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Breath of fresh air

From the card arriving (in a perfectly designed manor) to the ease of use of the app, everything has been first class. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Outstanding

Couldn't be easier to use, excellent customer service when you need to communicate with them. Card never fails in ATMs all over the world & always the best available exchange rate Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

The future of banking

Superb experience from Starling so far. They are way ahead of the high street banks and I look forward to much more in 2019! Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Excellent product that provides everything you need

Excellent product that provides real time spending, ability to share money with out starling users, great for saving, great lock and unlock features. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019
