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

My number 1 choice if you send money abroad

Starling is so easy to set up. I first started with an business account as secondary account for my business. Since then, I have a personal account which is my main account now and I have a new business where I have opened up another business account. i also have a property in Spain and using Starling I have saved so much money on charges as I use their basic service as it is my own account that I am transferring to. Being able to use the app to do this is amazing as before I have to log in on my laptop and add all my details over and over again and the money took around 3 days where in Starling it can be as quick as the same day. However, it would be better if you could transfer money abroad over the weekend and on a bank holiday. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Just so easy

Easy set up, great info sent out regularly and love the “spaces” Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Starling is great!

Starling is great! So easy to use and with so many great features like the spaces. Now that I can split incoming money to spaces using percentages it’s even better! And the fact that I don’t have to pay a few for foreign currency transactions has always been my favourite thing. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Seamless banking - love it!

Seamless and efficient process to open new accounts and switch banks. The app is intuitive and easy to use. The visuals and spaces make budgeting and tracking spending and saving so easy. I initially was drawn to Starling for the green credentials and being a UK based bank. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Good everywhere

I opened my account as it had been recommended to me as the best to use while travelling, which was true. So good I continued to use it on my return Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Excellent Bank

When I emigrated from the Netherlands to the UK in 2019, I was looking for a British bank. I first spoke to them personally in the office. Then I had an account for a few months. I have had very bad experiences with Nationwide (too much waffle, waffle, failure to keep appointments), HSBC (extremely chaotic and illogical security, no manners to new customers, lack of basic balance administration), Halifax (extremely chaotic menu, lack of basic balance administration), Barclays (completely old-fashioned approach to new customers), Lloyds (employees eating sandwiches at the counter, appointments they forget). Until I met Starling Bank. None of that. Perfect balance administration. As a Dutch person, I am used to doing financial things straight forward. And their helpdesk responds quickly. Happy Chappy now. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024
