Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

No-Nonsense

5
No waiting, no excuses, simple easy banking, they show the others how it should be done. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2023

No better bank

5
Having been with Starling since 2017, I can honestly say that I have never had a better banking experience. The App is truly comprehensive and allows me to do everything I need from a bank, however, on the rare occasion I have phoned Starling for clarification about something, I have been dealt with in a friendly yet knowledgable and professional manner. I have tried many banks in my life but none match Starling. Reviewed on: 25th February 2023
