Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Best bank ever!

Believe it or not I've tried most high street banks and I've never been impressed or happy! Whereas I'm super happy at Starling and any problem I've had had been swifty fixed! Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Easy to use, convinient, great team behind it

It was scary to leave the old banking world behind and move to a digital first bank but Starling made the process simple and less scary! Having live chat features and a powerful app made Starling much easier to use than my previous bank and due to this I found myself more inclined to check my balance, understand my finances and overall become more responsible. I'm now on my way to paying off my debt, saving for my future and my mental health is much better. All thanks to Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

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 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
