Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Starling is easy, simple and it works abroad without extra charges. I'm happy with all that. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Good support but hostility towards cryptocurrency transactions is outdated and shows an old fashioned mindset, rather than a progressive one. Have moved to Monzo. Additionally advertise an overdraft feature but despite having a flawless credit record I’ve still not managed to get approved for one of these elusive features - I’m starting to believe they don’t exist Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Jordan, thanks for your review. At Starling, we constantly review our position in relation to financial crime. We consider crypto activity to be high risk. We’ve taken the decision to prevent all card payments to crypto merchants and to implement further restrictions on outgoing and incoming transfers. We will not charge customers for declined payments. This may change in the future, we'll be sure to raise this as feedback. Thanks again, Team Starling. Response date: 20th March 2024

Brilliant app and service

Brilliant app which means that pretty much no need to speak to a person. Plus ongoing new features that get rolled out - such as spaces and kids cards. Oh - and no fees for use abroad. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
