Starling Bank Current account reviews (27464)

the best mobile-only challenger bank out there.

5
Being 100 percent mobile-only bank is a great step and is very convenient for me as I can do all my bank works just staying at my home. The best part is I can edit my contact details and home address all by myself and can get to contact the customer service team 24/7, whether by a phone call or chat. Keep up the good work and looking forward to see more lucrative service and offer. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Get it!

I love this bank! The app is so easy to use and contains all the information you could ever want. It even has IBAN codes for international banking, which you normally have to ring your bank to get. The card itself arrives quickly and was nicely packaged. It is great for spending money aboroad. No paying to use your own money like with other banks. Basically, everything just works. This is how a bank should be. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Ahead of the curve

Easy to set up, innovative, great app. I like the way you can freeze your card rather than cancel it and it also lets you know as soon as money is spent. Makes me much less worried about fraudulent use as I will be notified and can freeze the card rather than find out when my account had been emptied. Also useful for budgeting when they categorise your spending. I spend time abroad and the exchange rate is fantastic. Haven’t found a downside of having their account yet.

It’s the best travel card you could ever want. At home, I use it instead of cash. Keeping track of your money is brilliant, I’ve stopped collecting receipts. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Convenient

Fast simple banking, improving all the time. Love the rapid notifications, cash payments and withdrawals at the Post Office, lack of currency exchange fees, free ATM uses. Some good ideas regarding savings and account management. A refreshing new bank for the 21st century! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
