Starling Bank Current account reviews (27401)

A bank for the future today

Real time feedback on my spending, no charges for use abroad and a great customer support team. This is the right way to do banking for a contactless world. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

excellent app and easy to use

It is a great service by starling and I frequently use it. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Best Current Account Ever.

24/7 customer service is without doubt the best part. Banks these days seem to be closed at any time you can get to them and they need to fall in line with the retail industry and be open when people are not in work that is just a fact of life now. Also, the app is amazing with features like goals and in depth spending analysis. Starling helps you save automatically and see where you need to cut your spending. So I can say without doubt best current account full stop. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

If Apple did banking...

Instant notifications of transactions. Goals pots for saving. Personal responses to queries. Security controls on the card. Future tech. Perfect. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

The future is here

Easy to use - bank branches are a thing of the past... Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

The best of banking as it should be

Truly the most innovative transformation in current account banking since the quill. Make managing and monitoring money a dream and all from my mobile. Love it. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Simply perfect

Excellent mobile based banking. Everything works perfectly and is in the right place. The customer service by chat is amazing. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Bank account of the future

Found out about Starling Bank after reading about the rise of Challenger/Neobanks online, and what a glimpse into the future of banking it's been. Five minutes to set up on your phone, get verified and be up and running. Card received within 2 days in fantastic packaging, direct debits, Android and Apple pay, and instant notifications when you spend. This is how bank accounts should be for the people and looking forward to more exciting products in the future. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Seamless, modern and enjoyable banking experience

I have been a Staring customer since it’s launch and could not be happier with them. The app is modern and very easy to use, and very fast (which is a distinction large bank can claim). Travelling with Starling is a particular highlight, as one can use ones debit card essentially as they do at home, paying very minimal fees and taking a lot of hassle out of making transactions overseas.

Brilliant fintech, that knows how banking is radically changing!

Fully switched to Starling last year from First Direct. They have already bettered them in their customer service, ability to provide an API, have a great app which is getting new features all the time and and more customer focused than any other bank I've found. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018
