Starling Bank Current Account reviews (27276)

The best of banking as it should be

Truly the most innovative transformation in current account banking since the quill. Make managing and monitoring money a dream and all from my mobile. Love it. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Simply perfect

Excellent mobile based banking. Everything works perfectly and is in the right place. The customer service by chat is amazing. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Bank account of the future

Found out about Starling Bank after reading about the rise of Challenger/Neobanks online, and what a glimpse into the future of banking it's been. Five minutes to set up on your phone, get verified and be up and running. Card received within 2 days in fantastic packaging, direct debits, Android and Apple pay, and instant notifications when you spend. This is how bank accounts should be for the people and looking forward to more exciting products in the future. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Seamless, modern and enjoyable banking experience

I have been a Staring customer since it’s launch and could not be happier with them. The app is modern and very easy to use, and very fast (which is a distinction large bank can claim). Travelling with Starling is a particular highlight, as one can use ones debit card essentially as they do at home, paying very minimal fees and taking a lot of hassle out of making transactions overseas.

Brilliant fintech, that knows how banking is radically changing!

Fully switched to Starling last year from First Direct. They have already bettered them in their customer service, ability to provide an API, have a great app which is getting new features all the time and and more customer focused than any other bank I've found. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

A Bank & Account from the future

I've had an account for 6 months, from opening it in less than a minute, to painless switching, to the fully featured App already awesome but with so much coming, to the excellent support 24/7, it's been simply superb. I travel to the US and I use this account for everything. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Making Banking enjoyable!

It’s incredible! I’ve never boasted to people about my Bank before. My car and iPhone yes, but never my bank. I’m now a massive advocate for Starling. The user experience is beautiful and simple. I don’t need to find an HSBC dongle to log on. It gives me instant awareness of my spending and a wonderful overview on a longer term basis. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with in the future! Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Amazing

Used Starling from launch, nothing short of excellent. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Better than Monzo

Quicker to a comprehensive current account experience. Always on hand on chat. All the capabilities of a modern bank, without the bad UX and customer service. LOVE! Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

An Amazing Bank That Is Going Places!

I have only been a Starling Bank customer for a short time. When first seeing Starling Bank being promoted and recommended to me by a fellow blogger friend, I was soon to keep the name in mind and check out the bank in its pre-development stages. Soon enough, the bank was launched and alive. Their features are outstanding and with the added ability of sharing your suggestions and the team being open to feedback and taking on new ideas. I love the personal feel this bank provides, yes, there is thousands of other customers, but the way their customer service is, it really makes feel as though bank knows you already and is there to speak with you at any moment. I'll be honest, I haven't dealt with their telephony team as I haven't felt the need too, as their live chat feature is my go-to. Overall, there are no negatives. My spending has dramatically seen a big difference and being able to see you spending in real-time is fabulous. If you haven't considered moving over to Starling, I would seriously consider it. You really, really, really will not be let down. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018
