Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Best bank ever. Period.

Amazing and fast customer support, instant notifications and graphs on spendings, mobile only... Uh.... What else. .. Just feels good to bank with them. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

21st century banking

It's a bank that is lightyears ahead of high street banks. It is clever yet simple to use and despite all app based the customer service is better than being face to face in branch. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

So good it's easy to recommend

Great experience and great benefits. Proper interest on your money, fee free spending and the best control and analysis. Always recommend and have gone "Full Starling" Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Changed my life

As the title says, Starling has literally changed my life. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Great account

Nice looking app and cards, great features - particularly spending insights and settle up. Love the marketplace integrations too. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Has completely revolutionised my banking...

Since leaving behind legacy banking and going 'all in' on Starling's fintech, I have truly not looked back. Everything from inter-person transfers of cash to the immediacy of general transactions is made easier and it makes me wonder why this wasn't always the yardstick for banking. Newer developments like saving pots and the incredibly easy 'sofa set up' joint accounts are the kickers in this incredible package. Well done guys! Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

How banking should be

Quick and simple sign up process, account opened in minutes. App is easy to use and any problems or questions are answered almost straight away via the in app chat facility. Amazing to be able to use your card abroad as you would at home and not worry about ridiculous charges. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Taking the stress out of money management

Everything is so quick and easy with Starling. Features such as real-time updates, instant notifications, spending insights and goals help put you back in control of your finances. That feeling of cotrol removes a lot of stress Reviewed on: 31st October 2018

Excellent spending insights and ease-of-use - just needs a few extra features

Starling's app is user-centred in its design and functionality. As well as its effortless interface, the app allows you to categorise spending and segment your money so you know how much you actually have to spend - while the money you shut away earns interest. It could be improved with a few tweaks to some of its features. The spending categories can't be customised, for example. This is a little frustrating, especially when it's a standard feature of most spending apps, such as Money Dashboard. On the rare occasions that the app hasn't made it easy to find the information I've needed, the information on the website is occasionally lacking. The's on-site content about overdrafts, for example, isn't nearly as comprehensive as it needs to be. Reviewed on: 29th October 2018

No fees

Greaat account that helps with not charging fees abroad and no annual account fees Reviewed on: 19th July 2018
