Starling Bank Current account reviews (27450)

Easy banking packed with great features

5
I switched to Starling about three years ago and really enjoy how easy it is to use - both at home and abroad, where it’s fee-free. I particularly enjoy the Spaces feature in the App, which makes it easy to put away money for different purposes. I also like the fact that I earn interest on the money in my account.

They're simply the best, better than all the rest...

I'm so glad my last bank decided to close its current account as i was forced to look elsewhere. I was recommended to look at Starling and I'm so happy I did. They make banking an absolute joy. Easy to use, easy to move money around, easy to soak to a human if needed. I 100% love banking with Starling and would recommend them in an instant, and often do. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Simplicity applied to banking

5
Couldn't be more happy with the service and the practicality of using Starling as my current account provider. Services are simple and I can barely recall thinking about needing to go to a physical branch. I won't just recommend it under 10/10 because it is a digital bank and there still some people that don't have enough digital literacy or access to technology to fully enjoy it. What makes it a great service is also what gives it a setback for some users. But for most digital capable users, Starling is the ideal bank Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
