Best current account

Best move I made switching to this bank been with them for a year now and haven't looked bank. App is amazing with loads of features to help you save and more, couldn't be more happier with starling bank Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Established Players Watchout

The instantly updated balance is one thing, though when you factor in a modern UI, the ability to separate money within the same account into ‘spaces’ and the marketplace you have the best current account on the market! Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

All banks should be like this

I grew tired of the poor online experiences offered by the big banks. I used to be Barclays customer before switching to Nationwide due to their support of Google Pay when it first rolled out, but I soon found that the banking apps they offered were shockingly bad to use. In this day and age you would expect a well known bank to have a decent online offering with an app that works, but apparently the big banks don't see this as being important? So I went looking for an alternative and decided to try Starling. Immediately I was impressed by the app they offer. It's clean, fast, easy to use and gave me all the information about my account and transactions clearly when I need them. Transaction notifications in real-time is an incredible feature and I love the security options which allow me to quickly block my card should it be lost of stolen. The application process to sign up for an account was very quick and easy and after running the app alongside my Nationwide account I was so impressed that I did a full switch to Starling and I never looked back! This is banking fit for the modern age. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

So convenient

Easy online banking with very responsive customer service. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Easy Peasy!

I remember setting up my Starling Bank app, and thinking at the time, “this is super easy! Am I really opening a bank account on my phone?” Since then, I have had my wages put into my bank, and I am absolutely loving the breakdowns of transactions by category, merchants etc. It really slows me to see where I am spending my money, and help me cut down. The overdraft facility is amazing too. I am paying so much less than I would with a dinosaur bank, and it’s easy to see how long I have been in my overdraft for, and how much I have paid in charges over the period. I absolutely love Starling Bank, and would recommend it to everyone looking to switch bank. Transparency at its best! Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

So far in such a short time

Starling have come a LONG way in their short time, I've moved my current account of 30+years from one of the big banks to them and am more than happy. Only complaints are that its difficult to access a large amount of cash in one go, and paying in cheques is also tedious, especially now Lloyds allow you to scan in via the app. But these are occasional use cases. Given the level of branch closures by the high st. banks choosing Starling now is a no brainier, if my previous bank still had a branch I could use then they might have an advantage, but they're throwing that away and Starling can out tech them anyday.
