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

Great banking app

Easy sign up, quick response (card within days but into my Apple Watch and Apple Pay within minutes. Used the card in Australia, clear simple and cost effective transactions with no hidden “fees” or transaction costs. Incredibly simple interface, navigation and spend all mapped out.....Have Monzo as well and Starlingbpios it due to the goal savings and the fact that I don’t need my card in my pocket!!!! Would recommend if your looking for a simple no nonsense, transparent bank account which has a low carbon foot print to boot (no high street presence!) Reviewed on: 26th January 2018

Fantastic Bank and fantastic app

Cant speak highly enough about this bank. It has changed the way I bank and has made my life so much easier. Reviewed on: 25th January 2018

Slick and fuss free!

I've been using Starling Bank for 8 months now and I love it's forward thinking approach, slick processes, easy to use app, the features inc spending highlights, and being able to use it abroad at the best exchange rate without commission. Keep doing what you're doing Starling. Reviewed on: 25th January 2018

Best bank ever

Helps you to manage your money easier, notifications, instant! Highly recommended Reviewed on: 25th January 2018

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
