Starling Bank Current account reviews (27459)

How a bank should be.

Quick and easy to sign up via a very good mobile app. Good customer service experience and does everything you expect a current account to do. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Love how immediate it is!

I love that the app gives me control over my account and card security. It's fantastically fast and I like the UX and UI design. As more and more features become available I am very close to closing my old "bricks and mortar" account. Even my significant other is thinking of switch and she is a complete technophobe. Starling should get an award for that feat alone! Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

The Future of Banking.

Responsive, creative, functional and most importantly - innovative. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Amazing and exciting

Im very impressed with what I’ve got so far , the whole process has been easy to use and I’m excited for the future with starling. I have already recommended friends and family to the bank and will continue to do so Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Easy, fast, no fees abroad.

Such a simple user interface, easy to find things. Perfect for use abroad as no fees added by Starling. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Fresh approach to banking which is truly welcome

The signup process was effortless and super fast. My card arrived quickly and was presented memorably. My 5 year old sun still plays with the box now! I love the way you are notified via the app as soon as a purchase is made. The ability to lock your card for certain transactions is also very impressive. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Marketing leading banking app

This bank has the customer at the heart of everything they do. Whilst other high street banks are struggling with the concept of moving services online and away from branches and the post, Starling are taking leaps into the future. The application process through the app is seamless and easy. The account is opened instantly after ID verification and with real time transfers and Apple Pay you’re able to provision your MasterCard to your Apple Wallet and transact within minutes - this is revolutionary stuff. The app interface is intuitive and provides all the basic functionality you’d expect but with enhanced spend tracking, card management and budgeting. Wow. Every app developers fights to be on the homepage of your phone, well these guys are on mine and they deserve it. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

Great Bank for Innovation; security and listening to customers

Starling Bank exceeds customer expectations in overall use and experience. New off the block, I have seen it grow driven by innovation - many ideas being suggested on the customer forum. Efficiency and appeal = the Greatest for a modern smart phone bank. Personally, I find it easy to organise my money and spending. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018

A great revelation in modern banking

The easy setup, simple interface and plethora of features that make Starling stand out miles ahead of the rest. Reviewed on: 17th January 2018
