Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

I have had an account for a couple years and I have watched other banks fade away. When I joined Starling, I signed up through the application on my phone. It was very easy. I confirmed my identity online, with somethey help me via live chat. I can upload cheques to my account. When I am a little out of pocket, I find a few spare pennies that have been automatically saved for me with each purchase. Starling is progressive and targets the current age and that is wonderful. Older people seem to get left behind in the times. This encourages them to adapt and embrace them. It welcomes them into the new age. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Their products are intuitive and innovative.

I have been a customer of Starling for 5 years and I have found that they have the best banking app by far. Their products are intuitive and innovative. The app is easy to use and helps so much with budgeting, paying bills and saving. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024

Easy to use app, and good interest rate on current account Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024

Brilliant for budgeting

Intuitive and easy-to-use app. I particularly enjoy the Spaces feature, and the ability to spend directly from a space using a virtual card - this is great for keeping track of spending! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024

Been with starling a few years now and honestly find them the easiest and best bank I have been with. My old bank failed to really move with the times and their mobile app offering has gone downhill, with Starling everything is so easy and straightforward and actually recommended to my family who have since either moved completely, or opened business accounts with you based on how good their experience was. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024

Good interest on current account balance.

Good interest on current account balance. Like that you get interest on the savings spaces too, I've moved away from other savings accounts that were paying less and here I can just quickly move money between my savings and my current account. Being able to use the card on holiday without fees is good too. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024

Simply the best bank there is!

Simply the best bank there is! The savings goals and virtual cards are fantastic for budgeting but also for staying safe when shopping online. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024

Excellent company

Excellent company who put the customer at the front of mind, the hiding of references feature for survivors of domestic abuse is a clear statement of that. The app is intuitive and the fact that you can earn interest on your current account is excellent, I can access my money and earn on top unlike most other banks. Their customer service is 24/7 for any queries and are so quick to respond with queries. 100% recommend Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024

Great Experience

I have held a Starling current account for a few years now and it is so easy to use. I really like how on the home page it tells you how much you have spent this month as well as your overall balance. The customer service team is really helpful too Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024
