Starling Bank Current account reviews (27402)

Nothing but praise!

To open a new account was a doddle. Very quick in receiving the bankers card. The best thing is that there are no fees for using the card abroad. Receiving a text as soon as a transaction occurs is also a bonus.... sometimes I know the card payment has gone through before the retailer! Great bank Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Best bank ever

Love the app, it truly helps me manage my money! I feel in control and empowered about my money, where before I would hate to glance at my balance. Starling is great! Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Great bank

Can’t say anything bad about this bank. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Banking made easy

I've been using Starling for over a year now, and after 8 months, made them my main current account. Before this I was a pure branch-only banker (I can hear the gasps), and didn't even use online banking. It's pretty much been a game changer for me. Having instant notifications is great for budgeting (as well as from a security standpoint), and the granular control over your card is something I've yet to see anywhere else. You can lock the entire card, or just a subset of features. It is also integrating with a whole host of products via its marketplace to help keep tabs on your finances. CS isn't available instantly, but the response time has been perfectly acceptable for all issues I've had so far. On the whole, I've been really impressed, and hope they continue to grow/improve at the rate they have this last year. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Great new bank for the digital age

Frustrated with my old bank, starling is a great forward thinking bank and gives me a real time view of your balances. Love the ability to analyse my spending between categories. Great customer services too through the chat on the banks app Reviewed on: 6th November 2018
