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

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

Finally a digital account worth switching for!

Great features, promising strategy and amazing experience that far surpassed my expectations. Reviewed on: 19th January 2018

On boarding a breeze, customer support instant.

Can’t complain about Starling Bank. They make you reimagine what a Bank these days is supposed to be, and you realise quickly that the old players have a lot to learn when it comes to the way people want to handle their money in the 21st century. Starling made the experience right from downloading the app to the fancy packaging of the debit card so smooth and easy and the usability of the platform is so good, beyond that offered by the traditional banks who seem to have built their online banking on top of decades of clunky systems. I like the fact Starling think of themselves of a tech firm first, it really shows. Reviewed on: 19th January 2018

Revolutionary full scale banking

Sick of the bureaucracy involved in the big 5 high street banks, but still need the basic account services that Revolut and Mondo don’t provide. Starling is the perfect alternative, changing the way I Bank and hopefully the whole industry for the better Reviewed on: 19th January 2018
