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

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

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. Reviewed on: 5th February 2018

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
