Starling Bank Current account reviews (27402)

Seamless, easy, fast

Banking for the modern age. Everything is super fast and easy to achieve on the superb mobile app. It was a weight off my shoulders to close my old current account with HSBC and transfer to Starling. Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Fast, reliable and amazing to use abroad

It's been such a revelation to have starling for travel. It's also so useful to get instant updates and stats on spending. Great company. Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Fantastic

No 1 banking app. So easy to use and the instant notifications are perfect Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Banking transformed

Open a new account within minutes. Debit card arrived promptly. Current account switched seamlessly .Notified immediately when transactions made within the account. The ability to set goals and monitor spending. Worked fee free when card used abroad. This is a bank account that works for the customer and not solely for the bank. It feels safe, secure and modern. Banking transformed. Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Banking done right.

All traditional banks live in the dark ages. Starling was a breath of fresh air, taking everything I care about and need, and stripping it from everything that nobody really needs or wants. It's simple, effective, fast. They're the Apple of banks. Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Best of the best

Flawless banking app with innovative features. No other banking app comes close. Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

This is the future of Banking. Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

The future of Banking

Having tried a few different legacy banks (Lloyds, Nationwide), and also testing out a few "challenger banks" (Monzo being the main one), I've found Starling strikes the balance between features, stability, and modern day banking. The App is functional and fast, and the experience is great. I look forward to the future development! Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Easiest and most complete mobile banking experience

The setup and onboarding experience of Starling is second to none. Everything was seamless and easy and actually fun. Setting up Apple Pay with only a digital card, having not received my physical one yet, was amazing. I think Starling is the only bank to have that feature and they also have the Current Account Switch service which I plan on using next month. So far, it’s been a perfect experience Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Finance done right

At last, I know exactly where I am with my money - in real time! I’ve tried a couple of smart banks and Staling (by far) is leading they way... Every aspect of the way they work makes me smile. Their customer support is fantastic and so quick to respond - it’s like being face to face. Spending abroad is easy without having to worry about fees and the Goals feature make me want to save more for the things I want. They really are the future of banking in my opinion. Well done Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 9th February 2018
