Starling Bank Current account reviews (27427)

Seamless service

I love the facility to switch money between sterling and euros. The spaces feature to manage my money is just perfect. Best of all is the live chat facility to get instant help and support wherever I am inthe world. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Best current account I've had

I am motivated to state how good this modern bank account is with the app and all cutting edge facilities. Great to use abroad also with near perfect exchange rate and no transaction fees. (I previously had a Tandem credit card until it changed to charging fees). I took this Starling card, along with my phone and smart watch on a recent trip around the world ( well, western/modern world ie Singapore, Australia and the States ) Near perfect, only once did I have to pay a hotel a Mastercard usage charge. Even then I suppose I could have drawn cash from a local ATM and paid cash. Card control is great. App is great, reliable and fast for reassuring payment transactions, shown converted to sterling within seconds. I also carry a Barclaycard (plan B) bespoke to foreign travel but this has not changed for the last 20 years and transactions are days and days slow. I think I can now manage without a credit card for most hotel and even most car hire transactions, due to how good Starling Card is. Nothing but good experiences so far. Recommend on merit alone. I have just recommended the account to my sister who works long contracts abroad and she is also impressed. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

The best bank!

I have had a current account with Starling since July 2020. I was looking for an ethical bank that doesn’t invest in fossil fuels. I was slightly apprehensive at first as it’s an app only facility and previous banks I’ve used have had a high st location. I’ve had no issues at all with Starling. I’ve paid cheques in to my account with the app. I monitor my spending/saving using the spaces. I categorise what I’m spending. Buy things online feels safe as I always get redirect to Starling for verification. I can move money to my daughters account with easy (she also uses Starling from my recommendation). I get a prompt about upcoming payments and if I forget to move money on the payment date I receive an email to remind me. It’s the most convenient and efficient bank account I’ve ever had!
