Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Just will not listen

When I first started with Starling, they were great. Now however, I find they treat their customers with some disdain. My experience with their feedback process ('starlingbank dot com/contact/') is if you use it, they email you back and tell you to go to the app. If you've crafted a detailed email with your feedback originally, then you are told to go to the app which is limited to 500 characters, you could come unstuck. Challenging for anyone who has communication challenges wi... Reviewed on: 15th March 2025

Excellent current account - great saving spaces and you can set up separate cards for different spaces. Great instant saving interest and joint account options for couples. Brilliant and quick customer service and support when needed. Constantly informed on updates via email and in app notifications. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

From loads of old accounts to Starling Spaces...

We had a number of old accounts in our other main bank. Rather than having to manage all the different payments in and out of the five accounts we switched it all to Starling using their Spaces facility to create 'sub accounts' whcih gave us a single view and easy management of our monthly finances.

I enjoy starling bank.

I enjoy starling bank. They have good values, and are relatively easy to use. I really like the pots functionality, where you can set aside money in different pots, which means it's still in the same account but inaccessible. However, their app could be a bit more useful in terms of viewing past transactions - they don't show you a net amount (i.e. whether you have net gained or net lost money that week/month) which would be useful. Also, they got rid of their piechart infograph... Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
