Starling Bank Current account reviews (27464)

Very customer focussed.

Starling are a great bank to use when travelling anyway but it quickly became apparent that they listen to their customers and have superb customer service, so I now use them as my main account. The app based banking is great but what really makes the bank are the improvements they have put in place since I signed up. Post Office deposits and the new penny saving abilitily standing out. They have more substance than competitors that simply go for the asthetics and I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Impressive

I recently opened a current account after having switched from Santander to natwest and not being at all happy with Santander I have found natwest to be no better as soon as I get my £125 switch payment I'm moving to starling who have been brilliant so far Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Top bank

Brilliant friendly customer service, good app and Apple quality packaging for debit card. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

How Banking should be

My wife introduced me to the account and now the whole family have an account it's so simple and flexible I wish all bank would have the same ethos Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Simple, effective disruption

I’ve had a “high street” bank for 25 years. In that time I have been communicated with directly and proactively twice. I joined Starling as it made sense and was functionally ahead of Monzo, and within 2 weeks I had been talked to more times and could see more clearly than ever before my fiancical budget and spending:- a phenomenal piece of banking! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Sensational Starling

A very handy, easy access app makes this mobile bank super to use in a modern world. Great little saving tips with automation to help for those rainy days! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

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
