Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Brilliant service

So easy to open the account, I have in fact opened a business account too Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Easy to use

Extremely easy to use, convenient, good value (free!). The ability to split the current account into different spaces is very useful, both for security (just in case), and to save headspace on budgeting money for the month and without constantly tracking what needs to be kept aside, without having to take money out or move it between accounts. Card controls are very easy to adjust (locking when you can't find your card, cancelling if you REALLY lose your card, turning off magstripe by default so card can't be skimmed, etc.), and assigning virtual cards to the spaces is also a nice feature e.g. to spend from 'treat money' directly. In customer service terms, I have sometimes needed to reset password which requires a human review, and this has always happened quickly. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Excellent bank.

Excellent bank. Been with them for several years and despite tempting offers from other banks have no intention of switching. They are a modern bank that understands what customers need to better manage their finances. The pots for saving, bills and virtual cards have been a game changer for my family.

Banking made simple

I transferred to Starling under a year ago when my bank suddenly closed all its current accounts. That process was simple & since then banking has bern easy & I get up to the minute feedback on expenditure & income. I should have done it ages ago really! Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
