Starling Bank Current account reviews (27459)

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

Would not reccommend

Had a horrible experience trying to sign up for Starling - customer service staff were so unhelpful. Got an account at Monzo, which is great!! Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Pleasantly surprised!!

From joining to receiving my card to being able to activate it in app everything very smooth and leagues ahead of most high street banks. And the presentation of the card was awesome Reviewed on: 8th February 2018

Blown away.

. I opened a starling account initially out of curiosity at how it would be different from my existing banks services. After applying on a Saturday afternoon, being verified within 24 hours and having my card by Wednesday I knew this was a big deal. The app is amazing. The live chat service prompt and helpful when needed. Needless to say, I've switched to Starling. My legacy bank account remains there unused on the off-chance I might need them in future. But it's not looking likely. Reviewed on: 7th February 2018
