Starling Bank Current Account reviews (27274)

Transparent and value for money

Extremely efficient account opening process, innovative security, yet easy to operate. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Most complete mobile banking App

A customer from the launch of the Starling Android App my account pays my domestic direct debits. Having spent 21 years in retail banking working at one of the Big Four its clear that Starling's service and technology are impressive. They offer the most comprehensive banking service available on mobile in the UK. This includes both payments and credit with an overdraft decision within minutes of account opening. All done without paper or signed forms at rates which the incumbents can't match. Not only do I trust Starling with my bill payments but it is where my Bank pension now gets credited! Innovative services such as Goals the Marketplace deliver now what PSD2 promises but which no other Bank can match. All this from a small and hardworking team that are just smashing it. Go Starling!

The way banking should be.

Legacy banks, take note: watch and learn. That is all. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Simple

Just what a banking app should be, no nonsense and does everything you would hope for. It just works. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Very smooth

A great experience right from the start where it only takes a few minutes to open an account. I particularly like getting instant notifications of transactions on my phone. Not only do the notifications show exactly how much you are paying in sterling when abroad, they are also a great security measure too. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Superb challenger bank

Starling has been a breath of fresh air compared to the more traditional banks. Brilliant app and brilliant service. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Best thing to happen to uk banking

Fintech bank that is so easy to sign up for and app that is even easier to use to save, buy or transfer money with Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Customer First

Everything is designed around what the customer wants, not what makes the bank the biggest margins. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

So much better than anyone else

Can't believe how quickly they have pulled ahead of legacy banks! Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

The future of banking.

Starling Bank has been a fabulous experience so far. Opening the account took five minutes and was completed totally online. The app is a pleasure to use and I love being able to see my 'live' balance at all times. When I have had to contact customer services with a query this is also done via the app but the responses have always been quick and helpful. I am working towards a total switch to Starling and will not miss my 'legacy' bank at all. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018
