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

Skeptic turned fan

Wasn't sure about moving away from my typical high street bank, but had been unsatisfied for a long time with bad customer service, long hold times, high fees and much more. Tested Starling and haven't looked back since. Absolutely fantastic service all round. Couldn't recommend enough. 10/10. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

GREAT BANK

Great concept A friendlier way for banking :) Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Awesome

So far in front high street banks Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Best account for expats

I initially chose Starling because they offer a debit card with Mastercard exchange rate. That means I can use my GBP when I'm in EU without needing to transfer money to a EU bank account and still pay very low exchange rate. They are now going to add an EU account which is going to make my life even simpler and I won't need a EU account (normally come with a fee) anymore. Also their app and dashboards are just great and easy to use. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Great customer service, fantastic app

I've used Starling for almost two years, and have zero frustrations with the service. I now have both my personal and business account with them. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Banking in the 21st century... finally!

Been with Starling for just over a year now. It's such a refreshing experience vs the big bank I'd been a customer of since I was young. We've now moved our joint account to Starling to gain the benefits such as upcoming direct debit payments, roundups and instant payment notifications. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Just right

From the clarity of the font, to the dependability of its alerts, this bank/ app is a pleasure to work with. Clean and intuitive. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Responsive and Feature Rich

A digital only bank that is responsive to customer need and offers a feature rich bank account - the personal account was so good we had no hesitation to open a business account as well. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Great modern bank with best budgeting

Unlimited goals allow you to do envelope budgeting. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

An impeccable banking experience

Using it daily on my phone & abroad. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019
