Reply from Starling Bank Hi Anthony, thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear that our interest rate does not seem to be working for you, and when it comes to overdrafts, these are offered based on eligibility. Just to clarify, interest is calculated daily and paid monthly on the first day of the following month and while you may not be eligible for an overdraft currently, this may change in the future. Thanks again. Team Starling, Response date: 20th March 2024

Good, easy to use app. I’ve also found the text chat with a human rather than a bot useful when I had a query Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Fast and efficient

I had my card details stolen somehow, and they were used in an Argos hundreds of miles away, for around £300. They were fast and efficient, and I got my money back within a few days. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

I've been with most high street banks

I've been with most high street banks during the past 40 years. I've paid through the nose for that so called privilege. I've been with Starling for over 3 years and it goes from strength to strength. Outstanding in every way. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Very pleased with Starling.

Very pleased with Starling, I really like the way individual payments can be handled and annotated within the app, with my old bank, I had to use a ‘cheque book’ app on my PC to make sense of things. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
