Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

The future.

Moved from a traditional bank. I’ve always been a techie and Starling does things that banks should have been doing years ago. They’ve caught the old guard by surprise and they’re all trying to catch up. Starling is miles ahead and is only getting better. I’m excited for what else they can do in the future.

Superb Bank account

Moved from HSBC great move very innovative and embraced technology just what I've been looking for Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

Easy and feature rich current account

Quick setup, with a company who are constantly innovating their product and improving their account Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

Excellent and has changed the way i bank

The instant notifications were what sold starling to me but it wasn't until I got the account that I realised the other things , such as pots that kind of offset, make a huge difference to what I can do and how easy I can make managing my finances. They are quick to respond to feedback and are always introducing new features.Customer services is top notch too. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

great experience

Quick opening process, nice delivery package and eye-catching app Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

For those who lookfor technology

Everyone who look for new, modern and tech experience, who wanna be up to date on every single operation on the account and wanna manage their finance by their phone with the price they can afford for. Quick, very customer friendly and tech innovative. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

Rattling the chains of old banking

Refreshing approach to one stop seamless current account banking. Just needs joint accounts for the other 2 stars. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

Proactive and reactive

Love the roadmap that the team have and what they are aiming to achieve however I think I love them more for the small tweaks they are willing to make based on user feedback. The adjustments to the IOS payment screen and the logo improvements seem to have stemmed from user feedback- what other current account in the market can you actually see an enhancement that you have asked for and also in the matter of months. Amazing. Reviewed on: 19th January 2018

Excellent

An excellent current account, with few to little fees. I feel like I'm helping to build a banking product and my feedback on the product is genuinely listened to and implemented into the product. Finally a bank that actually listens to what it's customers want! Reviewed on: 19th January 2018

How Banking should be

Fully functional mobile app with great feature and benefits. Everything from the initial easy sign-up through to a fast, flawless account switch service has been perfect. Instant push notifications for all transactions and fast payments have all been great. Free FOREX transactions and Goals features are wonderful additions. Reviewed on: 19th January 2018
