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

Great account .

Great account . Customer service good, although sometimes it takes an hour or so for reply. Good that they now pay better interest on current account, making them comparable to other banks. Instant notification and especially good that notifyed of coming up debits so you couldn't fail to have enough in account to pay these. Reviewed on: 17th January 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Andy, We're really happy to hear your move was so smooth and the app is working well for you! It's great to hear you can check incoming and outgoing payments easily. Many thanks for the kind review, Team Starling Response date: 20th March 2024

Lots of real-life helpful features

Instant notifications really are instant! The settle up feature is super helpful when out for dinner or booking holiday's with friends. We've used it a lot in the office for birthday collections too. I also really love spaces - one for me, for kids clothes, household improvements. It's really helpful and you get interest on the savings spaces too! great. Reviewed on: 17th January 2024

Great app and Great customer service

I have enjoyed using starling bank to manage my money. It offers me a nice percentage for keeping my money with them, which is better than 0%. I have always has a great experience with customer service and I enjoy using the sleek design on the app for a non-clunky and seamless user experience which i don't get from my main stream banks Reviewed on: 16th January 2024

5* current account

Best bank account, easy to use app, handy tools for managing money, no hidden fees or charges for foreign currency transactions, fast and simple to create virtual cards and even request a new physical card. I recommend it to everyone! Reviewed on: 16th January 2024

Incredible customer service - quick to answer and reply. Always have a smile and want to help Reviewed on: 8th January 2024

Excellent app - easy to use.

Excellent app - easy to use. I have the joint account and I like the savings spaces Reviewed on: 4th January 2024

Absolutely Brilliant!

We have been with starling now for a couple of years. It is wonderful. I closed Monzo and moved over. I use it as our everyday current account and I have a child with a Kite Card. Going abroad and being able to use my Debit Card for purchases AND cash withdrawals, with no fee, is brilliant. Yes, there is no phone number to contact Customer Service but they are very quick to respond and helpful. Reviewed on: 1st December 2023

Simply the best...

Starling's current account is simply the best. Having used Monzo and Barclays before, I have found Starling to be the best out of them all. Customer service is always professional, friendly but human and so kind. Nothing is too much hassle. The app is loaded with features, but unlike Monzo, it's a bank for adults with no childish animations or bright colours. It's a clean, simple to use UI which you can tell has been thoughtfully designed. Best Bank Account! Reviewed on: 1st December 2023
