Starling Bank Current account reviews (27402)

Best current account available

The UI is phenomenal with regular updates adding new and exciting features constantly. The customer service team are fast, polite and very helpful and overall I cannot find any faults with my banking experience with Starling. 10/10! Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Awesome Bank

Have not long joined Starling but I just love the whole experience and features of the bank. From the little things like notifications when you spend something to the cool vertical debit cards. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Best banking experience since 2008

I've switched my account from HSBC to SANTANDER to HALIFAX to FIRST DIRCT and finally to Starling. Just now I can say that I fully can do banking without long waiting time calls, memorable answers and without resorting any password. I enjoy the security features available within a click not 5 calls. Thank you Starling for making my life easier. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Excellent account with great features!

Excellent account with zero fee for abroad transactions and tip top customer service. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Didnt even realise I was saving

I used to stick with hbos, their online banking was good. Starling however is stunning, so simple, the set up took seconds, and with the goals and rounding my spending 1. I’m actually saving some of my money and 2. I don’t see it straight away so I don’t spend it. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Fantastic change to banking

I have been a full member of Starling for over a year now and would never change, they’re innovative and deliver an awesome product, and I can easily relax to go away somewhere and only have my card on me! Love it, and who thought you’d say that about your bank? Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Banking as it should be!

Remember “smart phones” before iPhone? You get the idea... Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Easy to use, convenient, loads of features.

The title says it all. Plus the card is cool. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Wonderful

Allows me to control my spending, especially crucial as a student Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Modern and very well run bank

I absolutely love every element of using Starling Bank. They have this "spaces" function that allows me to move savings around within my current account, that prevents me from spending it accidentally, but allows for it to be easily accessible. Also the notification function within seconds of spending/receiving money is perfect. Finally I've had nothing but a pleasant experience on the few occasions I've spoken to their customer service department. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018
