Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Lack of support from the Post Officce.

Since I started using Starling Bank. any problems I have had have been overcome extremely quickly, One problem that always niggles is that if the cash machine is out of order the Post Office won't help you but they will help anyone from any other bank. Reviewed on: 12th October 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Glad you've had a good experience overall. Sorry the Post Office hasn't been the same. You should be able to take out a maximum of £300 at the Post. However, not all Post Offices will be able to do this all the time due to the amount of cash held. Response date: 22nd October 2024

Easy, fast, hassle free.

Easy, fast, hassle free. App is well designed, useful, gives proper insights. Card controlling is great, happily recommend to anyone looking for a daily driver Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Best bank I’ve been with.

Best bank I’ve been with. Some great features Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Very happy indeed. Excellent!

I only need a straight forward current account service. So although I don’t have direct experience of any of Starting’s additional services I would have nothing but confidence in using or recommending them from the experience that I do have. The app is clear and easy to work with, the Saving Spaces feature is excellent and the ethos of the bank is sound. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Reliable no frills current account, good app and online access, responsive customer service Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Starling defines banking

Starling implemented features in its app in what seems like a timeline before other banks thought if possible. Their podcast series in how it runs was most appreciated for its transparency.It's circulars are thoughtfully put together Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great Service

straightforward and easy to use App, when I needed some in person help it was easy to get in touch with a "real person" and they where understanding, empathic and really helped with my query Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

EASY - EXCELLENT - SUPERB

EASY TO SET-UP - EXCELLENT VISIBILITY - SUPERB FOR OVERSEAS USE - MONTHLY INTEREST ON BALANCE IS NICE Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Couldn’t imagine switching elsewhere

Starling offers a great interest rate for a basic current account. The unlimited pots let me organise my budget easily, and the ability to connect a card to a pot makes this even better. The app is very easy to use compared to other banks. The spending breakdown is very informative. The customer service when I’ve rarely needed to use it has been good. They handled a dispute I had well, even though I ended up resolving it with the merchant directly in the end. I often recommend Starling to friends and family. It’s gone from an account for occasional fun money to my main bank account I pay my wage into. I couldn’t imagine switching at this point. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Best bank ever: I love how easy the app is to use.

I love how easy the app is to use. I’m able to manage my money a lot better with the weekly view and round ups. I have the ability to save for different things and manage payments. Starling is just the best Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
