Account opening

Awful experience opening a Starling current account. Very slow, difficult and disjointed. Awful customer service. Reviewed on: 28th July 2017

Easiest bank I have used

Starling is the ultimate in banking apps. On line only so should appeal to the youngsters. I am 69 years old and I find it superb. Have a go you have nothing to lose. Reviewed on: 24th June 2017

I love this new bank

New banks come across quite rarely, and one that innovates like Starling is even rarer. Starling is an app only bank, and their only product at present is a current account. By being app only, they are able to focus on creating new features. For example, instead of creating a savings account product, they are reinventing the savings account product by creating a 'goals' feature as part of the current account. So rather than move money into my savings account each month, the money remains in the current account but is allocated against my particular savings goals. I can still access the 'goal funds', but am given a warning before I access that money. Reviewed on: 24th June 2017

Up and running

Got my card and completed the banking switch. All done with no drama and very speedily. When needed the comms have been good. Need to take a leaf from Monzo and set up a community discussion area to generate buzz. Early days for the app. Because the focus has so far been on getting current accounts out there, the app isn't feature rich. Wait and see..... Reviewed on: 27th May 2017
