Starling Bank Current account reviews (27459)

Recommended (with some small reservations)

The app is excellent and the day to day usage is far more advanced than the old style banks, unfortunately this is currently let down by an awkward procedure to deposit cash which requires persuading a teller in NatWest to take the deposit on their behalf. I would give 5 stars if they would implement the promised deposits/withdrawals via Post Office counters. Reviewed on: 6th February 2018

Simple, so flexibleand a very cometetive instant access credit interest rate.

I bought the product mainly to use when travelling abroad. Have used it extensively worldwide and have been really impressed with the simplicity of the card, its acceptability for even lowvalue transactions and the notificatins after use, Given the obscene and outrageous charges applied by the mainstream banks the Starling Bank card is godsend.

Great service. Great features. Great bank.

The CS team have been really helpful and quick to respond to any problem. The app and features are constantly evolving. The latest feature - Goals - saves me money on not having to use a budgeting app any longer. Fee free foreign transactions. And Apple Pay too. Only been going since May, so very impressed indeed. A proper challenger to the old fuddy-duddy banks out there. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2018

Just how a bank should be!

Starling is great -- it's everything that a modern bank should be, with every process thought out and engineered really well. Having used a Starling Bank account for a couple of months now, it really does show up how antiquated older, more traditional banks have become... Reviewed on: 3rd February 2018

Fantastic app and Bank

Having felt a sense of detachment from my finances and spending. l know feel able to get on top of my money, understand it and make improvements. The app is feature packed and has a stream of promising features that will help me more. Reviewed on: 1st February 2018

Simple new age of banking

Just goes to show how the old banks are behind, too busy on how to take in more profit rather than how they can improve banking services for people. Starling are turning the banking world on its head and it’s about time, amazing bank and service, just needs the bells and whistles of regular brick and mortar accounts. Reviewed on: 1st February 2018

Excellent app and service

True challenger bank with excellent features and good community. Much better than Monzo! Reviewed on: 1st February 2018

Starling - the future of banking

I have been with my legacy bank for around 20 years and they had by far the best app experience for a bank, that was of course until I joined Starling. A few minutes was all it took to open my account, not lengthy forms to fill in and no wasted lunch breaks, it seemed too easy. After incorrectly adding my sort code I contacted support, I was answered instantly, in the app! Everything from live transactions and notifications make managing money a breeze and for the first time I'm saving using goals. No setting up new savings accounts, I create as many as I want and get a better rate than my legacy bank. The best thing about the app... I can ditch that little plastic card reader! Happy days. This is how banking should be, instant, helpful and innovative. My legacy bank is now redundant. Reviewed on: 31st January 2018
