Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Easy and Reliable

We set up Starling for the purpose of a joint account. It was wonderfully easy to set up, and to use. Since then we have transferred all direct debits from old accounts. I love how Starling categorises my spending, so I can more appropriately track where my cash goes. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2023

Amazing bank

Excellent customer experience and app Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

The bank I've been waiting for!!

Been using a legacy bank and never realised what I needed from my bank until I joined Starling. So many useful tools to manage your money, you don't need to use any external tools at all! Love it! Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

The best bank there is

The best bank in the country. No, the world. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

It's 2023 and they won't let you do what you want with YOUR money

I can't accept a bank that decides for me where and how I can spend my money. Stay away, especially considering the current bank runs out there. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

The Friendly face of banking

Banks are evil, but not Starling. You are treated with respect in a friendly manner. Starlingbank has a great ethos, treating people fairly. I really admire their CEO, Anne Boden. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

Easy to use app

I moved to Starling in 2019 and haven’t looked back since Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

Poor communication and service

Not easy to talk to someone who can help Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

Great everyday use account

A great everyday account and app, easy to manage money and keep track of finances. Reviewed on: 21st March 2023

Simple online banking

Everything I need from a current account Reviewed on: 21st March 2023
