Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

The future of banking

Starling has been a breath of fresh air for me coming from a more traditional bank. Their app has never failed me and using it is always quick and straightforward. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

A bank as it should be

Using SB as my main bank account for the last year and I am extremely happy! Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Just works

Don’t regret the move from HSBC, enjoy having customer service now. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

An example of how banking should be done

Starling seem to be so cutting edge in what is a market where traditional high street banks are closing yet not investing in the technology. The time and effort they have put into developing a first class app is evident through the quality design and build, and great features. Instant payment notifications are so useful and being able to pay a nearby contact on Starling is very helpful. Customer service has always been quick and polite whether it’s over phone, messaging or live chat. Long live Starling Bank to put the traditional and stuffy high street banks to shame! Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Easy to use good rates

As above. It's simple to use and has lots of features. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Started off great, but went downhill.

Really started off well, but after almost 18 months with this bank I left. Customer service went down. They would promise new features that never materialize. They really startef acting like the traditional banks they're trying to challenge. Left my account open but can't see me going back. Their ethos just needs a refresh. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Account Control

Starling bank have helped me take control of my finance. As your account security is in your hands you can enable or disable features to stop fraudulent activity. They have helped me understand my finances more as I can keep a more in-depth eye on my account. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Top notch experience and functionality

Moved from Lloyds after awful service and them being left behind in functionality. Not regretted a second as Starling are amazing on all counts. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Simplistic but Stunning

These days being able to be able to Bank on the go is critical. No need for lots of cash when you have all you need in your phone. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018
