Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Best bank account yet

Simple app and easy to use. First class customer service. Loving the new features, such as goals / savings. 10/10 would recommend Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Amazing

Setup was so much easier than I’ve ever experienced. The app itself is not only stunning but incredibly useful and informative, giving me insight into my spending habits in very visual ways, and very easy ways to split my savings into neat categories. Also, the sheer speed of sending and receiving money is so imminent now. My previous bank had major delays and primitive depositing processing. They also have a freeze card feature which allows you to freeze and unfreeze your card at the press of a button, which is such a peace of mind if you’re ever concerned. They also give you immediate spending alerts/notifications with information on how much you spent and where, as well as incoming payments, so you always feel in control of your account. The card itself is also stunning, and came in a gorgeous embossed card. This company understands what people want and need, and are meticulous with their app and branding design. I cannot fault them one bit. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Great overall product

Great overall product, much better than most high street banks' main current account. Never had an issue with it both in the UK and abroad. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Modern banking

Great to use for cash abroad. Customer service is instant and helpful. The process for sending up the account is modern and generally how banking should be! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Simple yet advanced

Way ahead of the traditional high Street banks when it comes to a current account in your pocket. Originally joined for good holiday rate but soon found it did so much more. Recommended to 5 others since and they all think the same as me. This is how banking should be! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Really easy to use. No fuss.

Super easy to use, no fuss at all. Would certainly recommend it. Reviewed on: 4th December 2018

Great Competitive Bank

Easy registration with no fee. Offers what all the other competition and more. See the comparisons to Monzo and N26 . Starling beats them all. Reviewed on: 2nd December 2018

Simple yet the best

A bank where everything is simple, they don't charge any fees for everyday banking, you sign up in 5 minutes, clean app, they send money instantly to other banks through the Faster Payments system and they provide budgeting tools. Reviewed on: 2nd December 2018

Fantastic customer service

It's very easy to get in touch with Starling, I've contacted them many times through the app with queries small and large, and every time I've been helped. Reviewed on: 30th November 2018

Amazing!

Best bank I've ever used, has all the features of the old school banks and more. <3 Reviewed on: 30th November 2018
