Starling Bank Current account reviews (27459)

Fantastic easy and hassle free

So impressed so far with Starling. Card came so quickly, it took under 5 minutes to set up and verification completed under an hour later. Going to be switching over permanently! Reviewed on: 24th January 2018

Easy and Online.

Honestly this is the clearest, easiest to understand bank account I’ve ever had. Real time app notifications let me keep control of my money easily. No fees whilst abroad also make for an amazing account experience. Reviewed on: 24th January 2018

Simple and informative

The account was extremely easy to set up, and user friendly. Managing my account has been simple with all limits and functionality clearly explained. The spending breakdown is extremely useful! Reviewed on: 24th January 2018

Excellent

Love the simplicity of the app and the Goals feature is a winner Reviewed on: 24th January 2018

Excellent ank so far, with one minor problem for those trying to improve their linguistics!

For once, everything has worked exactly as promised. ID confirmed within seconds, account opened, card delivered promptly, and everything working just as it should, with one slightly obscure problem - transfers can't be sent from their app when using Swedish as your device's main language. Not great when you're learning a new langauge to have to swap each time you need to send money, but I guess I'm in the minority here. Reviewed on: 24th January 2018

Amazing

They are an amazing mobile only bank who is way ahead of the competition. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2018

Brilliant service and a fantastic product which works really well

Seamless product and great user experience Reviewed on: 22nd January 2018

Terrible experience!

This bank has proven itself so incompetent that I think spending time in Auschwitz would have been a much more pleasant experience than having Starling as my bank! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2018

The future of banking

Legacy banks: be afraid, be very afraid - the future of banking is here. No more waiting for your balance to update. Goodbye to sneaky card fees and horrendous penalties. Save hours waiting on hold for customer service. Hello to a new way of seeing and controlling your money. Set savings goals. Put money aside without having to set up unnecessary extra savings accounts. See where your money is going. Lost your card? Block is from your phone. Travelling the world? Enjoy competitive exchange fees at no extra cost. Starling Bank puts control of banking back into the hands of its users. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2018

Incumbent banks, be afraid, very afraid

Starling bank is the perfect solution to the unacceptably slow rate of innovation by traditional banks. It has everything I need and it's all accessible in a well thought out app. I can't wait to see what partnerships come out of that marketplace and I am very excited about the upcoming connected accounts option. Keep up the good work. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2018
