Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

How mobile banking should be

Very easy to set up and most importantly for me available on a good variety of mobile payment platforms. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

A murmur of Appreciation

I had read the press buzz about the "challenger" banks and after some research decided on Starling as money was FSCS registered. They are a revelation, easy to set up the account, clear, concise and do what they say.. Love the instant notifications and the super rates of currency conversion when I spend abroad. This 63 year old is now a converted Starling. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Easy to use

I'm not using starling fully at the moment untill I get my new job. But I'm loving using it as a savings account at the moment. It's so easy to use and I love that it tells you when you send money and recieve it. My parents recommend it to me and now my sister uses it ! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Awesome

Me and my wife got a starling account to use when we traveled to America for our honeymoon and loved everything about them so much when we got home we transferred both our current accounts to them. I can't recommend them enough Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

How banking should be

From opening the app, to applying via the app receiving the card & using the app and customer service Starling couldn’t be better. A fantastic new way of banking. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Excellent provider and movement of funds is very fast and effortless

Says it all above. Great Bank, wish all banks were like them! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Just what was needed

We went on our 70+ gap trip this autumn round the world, Starling was just what we needed to make the travelling easier. No hassle anywhere - well only one glitch and that was the merchant's fault and not Starling's! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Fab fab fab

Great app everything at my finger tips and if I need help customer service is really helpful. Best bank I have come across by far Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Starling is banking of the future

Great app, great banking experience Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Fantastic bank

I have been with starling around a year now and have no complaints. The app is easy to use and delivers all I want from a bank. It’s so much better than the bank I was previously with so I’m very glad I made the switch! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
