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

Changing the world!

I’d been with my previous bank for more than 9 years, however since signing up to Starling Bank it’s changed how I think about my money massively. The instant updates are so clever and I’m surprised this isn’t common practice now. The ‘Goals’ features give me the ability to actually start saving money for the first time ever. I’ve also just come back from Berlin and it was the first time I’ve not had to carry about Euros and not worry about massive charges! Absolutely perfect, I tell everyone I know about it.

Simple, easy and listens

Simple to join, easy to use, feature rich functionality and they listen to their customer suggestions Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Human banking, from an app.

One of the biggest things that sets Starling apart from its competitors, is the ability it has to bring a human touch to a piece of software. Not only do they have a great product, where you can keep an eye on your spending, earn interest on your cash and easily set money aside for the inevitable rainy day, they have a great team. They are bringing the human side back to banking, something I never thought an app would do! Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Does what it says on the tin!

Not all fancy jargon loaded blurb, just a straightforward “fee free” current account with absolutely no charges for using their debit card abroad - Long may it continue Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Just superb!

Initially sceptical, this bank is so much better than anything that I have experienced in the High Street as well as most of the other startups! As a journalist writing about this issue, I have tried out several. Starling is by far the best! Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Starling bank.

Great modern way of banking and brilliant customer service. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Love, love, love it!

Cannot rave about Starling enough. I love the service, how quick and efficient staff are when you need help, the app is great and is simple to use, the list goes on! Starling is everything that a high street bank SHOULD be, and more. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Great banking service

I was hesitant at first signing up but now that I have, I am a firm believer in Open Banking! I used the card on holiday in Hvar and loved the security controls I can control on my card! Keep up the great work Starling Bank Reviewed on: 17th January 2018
