Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Best app-only current account provider by far.

Best app-only current account provider by far. Most of what I need, incl. foreign currency transaction are free. The app is fantastically easy to use, and whenever I've had to reach out to them, service has been great. Reviewed on: 24th November 2024

Starling are great at helping me to budget and save using the "Spaces" feature and they have been amazing at helping me open my account without the traditional photo ID. As an autistic person, I have found their app so user-friendly and I have recommended Starling to several people and I know at least two have since opened accounts with them.

On line app is very easy to use and gives clear information. Payments and transfers are fast. Foreign currency paying when overseas is great. Like interest on current account balances Reviewed on: 24th April 2024

I used to think banks were all pretty much the same until I started using Starling. The instant notifications at transaction were an immediate change from the outdated banks I had been with before but it's all their own unique features that really makes them stand out! The Spaces feature with Linked Cards is a gamechanger and it all helps massively with budgeting as a student! Reviewed on: 24th April 2024

Easy to use, does all I want.

Overall better features and notifications about accounts and lots of options to help customise perfect profile and layout, easy to read and locate information etc, bright, colourful, easy to manage various activities Reviewed on: 22nd April 2024

5
Layout and functionality of the app is the best there is in banking apps; practical, user friendly and aesthetic. I would like a search feature where it can tell me how much I've spent / income in from specific vendors however this doesn't impact my day to day use of the app, a little add luxury.
