Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Simple, intuitive & smart

Starting is an amazing current account, from simple and easy set up, to more advanced features such as round ups, today-view, easy account switching and awesome customer service! Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Fast, easy banking

I love the ability to turn off and on the individual functions of the card and mobile payments as well as the push notifications for every transaction. Also on my last visa debit account with nationwide you were waiting a number of days to check transaction history with Starling and MasterCard debit they go through instantly and the starling app even gives a friendly logo and location of the place which is great to see where your money is going as you are spending it! Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Revolution - digital banking

Banks have become very archaic in there approach to offering banking in digital era. It’s refreshing to see a bank that’s not only modern but understand the modern digital change. Starling evolution with classic values. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

The challenger bank amongst challenger banks

I’ve been a starling bank customer since the early inception of the bank. I saw the ad on the tube and I had tried other mobile banks back then. None of them had the right features and the pragmatism starling has (specifically Apple Pay, interested on current accounts, reliability, customer service). Outstanding quality and execution Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Easy, fast and cheap

Great app, loads of features and no charges for using it abroad. I've tried all new challenger banks and this is the best Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

Fresh banking

Opened a current account as a second account, experience so far is excellent and I am seriously considering making this my main account. Not a huge fan of the redesign cards but that might be my traditional head talking Reviewed on: 23rd December 2018

A breath if fresh air!

The banking ststem needed a little encouragement to wake up and move on with the times and starling has been a wake up call to all! Reviewed on: 22nd December 2018

Easy & Accessable

Really easy to set up and the App is totally accessable - I've got all my mates to sign up and my old mum! Reviewed on: 21st December 2018

Excellent accessible service

This company has changed how I bank. The whole process is easy, from setup to customer service, with an excellent app that does everything I used to use three apps for. Easy and quick money management, spending analysis and budgeting made easy. I honestly don’t know how I managed without it before. This company is making waves in the industry by catching up to, and surpassing the needs of the digital age. Perfect integration with contactless devices, and I can even use payment with my smart watch. And I am fully aware and notified with every transaction I do. I can’t imagine ever needing to go to a brick and mortar bank again when Starling does everything I need and more. Reviewed on: 21st December 2018

A fun and efficient new way to bank

Starling do banking in a different way; yes, there are quite a few app-only start-up banks now in the UK, but there is probably only one which allows unlimited usage of your card abroad and pays you interest on money you've got in your account. It's fun to use, I've not experienced any glitches or problems yet and everything seems to work very smoothly. I can't recommend it highly enough. Reviewed on: 20th December 2018
