Starling Bank Current account reviews (27402)

From antiquity to personal banking

Experience based on opening a new current account which became operational within minutes backed by a vertical debit card within two days. Banking representatives were wonderful too. Instant notifications on all transactions on my android and iOS devices has placed me in complete control of my finances. Quite a fear for breaking new frontiers ! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Quick to join, easy to use, and always adding more functionality to better your financial life, what's not to love? Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Starling is a winner

I love this account. Instant notifications from the app when ever money goes in or out my account. As they are online any online financial transaction I make are almost instant. I was hesitant at first and I am a very careful person of new things but Starling bank so far is trusted and I am very pleased wit how easy everything is. THANK YOU I would recommend to anyone but especially to people like my self who may have difficulty talking to people face to face or getting out to the bank. Then when you do need them they are just a message away and always kind nas helpful. Keep winning Starling ❤️ Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

An amazing banking experience

This bank has changed the way I look at money and for the better. The customer service could not be any better. To put it bluntly Starling Bank has blown me away. The future of banking! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Great for travelling abroad

Instant notifications for payments and cash withdrawal abroad together with the best exchange rate going. You even get interest on your account balance! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

On Target

Starling Bank is right on target and right on trend! I’m a very happy customer Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Better than the other one.

I’ve had a few current accounts over the years, and have found Starling great to bank with and I now use it as my main account. Another certain Fintech Company (logo is a multicoloured M) tends to get all the limelight, but I prefer Starling and would recommend them. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

The best banking app I have ever used!

After years of using traditional banking setups from the likes of Natwest & Halifax, around a year ago I decided to try out the newer banking solutions such as Monzo & Starling - after trying both simultaneously for a few months I decided that Starling was the overall winner, for me it's the app setup, frequent app updates and overall stability that Starling provides that puts it at the top. A real hidden gem that I hope becomes common knowledge! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Smooth, smart and sleek

Top app. Great features. Big fan of the breakdown functionality and spaces. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

A game changer!

Launched later than Monzo but so much more of a full service current account and customer service is superb. This is how banking should be! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
