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

Reinventing the wheel

Starling bank have brought banking to the 21st century, they understand customer needs, the utilise technology to ensure every customer can get what they want when they want it without all the hassle of the historic banking that should now be left in the past.. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Really Impressed

As the bank is designed as an online bank it does seem that the app is an afterthought. My account was incredibly easy to set up. It really came into its own when we spent 6 weeks in Thailand withdrawals and payments were simple as were money transfers with a perfect rate of exchange. We just needed to watch for Thai banks and their dynamic currency exchange. Starling are always innovating with other banks lagging behind. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

The of British is here

I have an early customer of Starling Bank mainly as a second account for holiday spending etc. I was so happy I finally did an account transfer and made them my main account over a year ago and I've never looked back. Excellent customer service and I love the instant transaction. Nobody even comes close in my opinion. Keep up the good work Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Changed my relationship with money

I've always been a bit 'bury my head into he sand' when it comes to finances. Until I joined starling. I enjoy checking in and organising my account, sometimes many times per day. I know where my money is, where I need it and can now make plans to save. It's great Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

excellent bank

I have been with Starling Bank for quite a while now, I first opened a current account with them and have been excellent from day one and I have since opened a business account with them and again have been excellent. I love how easy it is to pay money in and the features on the app are superb. 100% recommended Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Fantastic

So good that four of us in the same family now have personal account. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Made life a lot easier.

My wife and I have moved all our banking to a joint account with Starling. It has made our budgeting much easier and helps us control our spending. It has been such a breeze compared to our old bank and are glad we made the move. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Great Bank

1,000,000 times better than any high street bank! Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Best app based bank ive found so far.

Working in the financisl services myself, i found my existing bank need to catch up to starling in terms of onboarding and account managability. The app is seemless and the spaces for putting money away is excellent. Love that its functionaluty overseas is just so easy. Im not keen on the colour of the card but my child loves it. Keep up the good work,im excited to see what's next. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019
