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

Brilliant for budget and travel

I have used my card in France, Singapore, Australia and Japan. No issues with using the card abroad anywhere. I love thst i csn keep track of what im spendi g and budget appropriately. All the i formation is on my phone and its always converted to pounds so I don't have to be a maths genius to work out the exchange rate. Reviewed on: 21st January 2018

I really, really like Starling Bank

Massive functionality and valuable insights - App always working so it seems, less outage than other fin-techs, great communication, great team, nice purple cards! :-) Reviewed on: 21st January 2018

Banking how it should be

Why can't you quickly search transactions based on the category of spending? Why can't I pay "people" and setup multiple accounts for each person? Why can't I switch current accounts, setup direct debits on my phone? Why can't I quickly disable spending on my card without ringing someone up!!!!? Well with starling bank, you CAN do all those things. It just feels like banking in the modern world rather than 20 years ago. Reviewed on: 21st January 2018

It's brilliant

Starling bank has an incredible app, miles beyond the competition with great feataures! Reviewed on: 21st January 2018

Great App & Customer Service

I joined Starling at the end of November. I have contacted Customer Service on 3 occasions, and each time, I received a prompt and friendly response to my queries. I have also used CASS to switch my bank account, and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a new home for their money to consider Starling Bank. The app is feature-rich and s;lick, so both the soft product (customer service) and the hard product (the app and its functionality) definitely deserve an award. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

Great experience

Good bank and great mobile app. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018
