Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

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

Best. Bank. Ever.

Banking how it should be. Easy, like super easy to open an account. Real time money management. Real time engagement when help is needed. An App design that’s safe, secure and a pleasure to use. One day, all banks may be this way. But only one will be Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Can't recommend enough

Way ahead of other banks. Everything is faster and more user friendly. The lack of fees and the great exchange rates have saved me a fortune when travelling. Looking to move my joint account over Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Second to none customer service

I’ve been following Starling for a while waiting for them to support the Isle of Man, so when I found out that they did I jumped at the chance to open an account with them. I’ve used their Current Account Switch Service to move from my old bank & couldn’t fault it at all. I’ve used their live chat quite a few times now and couldn’t fault it at all. They’re very active on Twitter too where I’ve had a few questions answered. I’ve even referred my partner & she loves it, & has gone on to refer her friends! Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

A far better bank...

Starling bank is leaps and bounds ahead of the old og banks, better technologies and far superior instant control on things like locking your card and paying someone. Not to mention inbuilt money awareness and round up savings! The marketplace is also genius. Definitely recommend this to anyone! Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018
