Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Once great now terrible

I was really pleased with starting bank but since they will remove interest payments from their current account next year it's now no different from any other bank account. The spaces were super helpful but now you won't earn interest they might be helpful for in month spending but not saving. You can have a single easy saver but you'd need to lump savings together. As I understand it, the kite account also won't earn interest so again less attractive for a kids account as one of the key lessons or to encourage them to save and earn interest. The app is fine - some bits I don't get on with eg not having a running balance summary (it's just the transactions and a current balance) but it was liveable. With the changes it's made a great bank account option now defunct. Reviewed on: 22nd December 2024

I bank with Starling and they are the best bank account out there, husbands wage goes into it, I pay my bills with it, never have an issue, they make it very easy to cash cheques into.

I love Starling bank ! I have been a customer with them for 3 years and they just do exactly what I needs seamlessly and quietly in the background. I like the way they allow open banking so I can easily get cashback on my spending. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024
