Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Best Fintech current account I've tried so far

Starling's current account is not perfect but it's the best FinTech has yet to offer in my opinion. Great user experience and customer services - steady innovation, not hopping trends/hype too much like the competitors. UI is really great, very simplistic design and not too wordy, in comparison, for me Monzo just have too much going on on their interface... Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

The app is the best there is...

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.

Excellent customer service with seamless safe banking

Really love the features that Starling offer, especially Spaces as it makes it so much easier to manage my money. Plus a savings account interest rate better than my previous bank. I also love how user friendly the app is and it's very visually pleasing. I've spoken to customer services via the chat on a few occasions since I became a customer and staff have been incredibly helpful and friendly. I regularly rave about Starling to my friends and will continue to recommend them in the future. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2024

Innovative approach to Banking

Easy to set up. Seamless transmission to Starling. Nothing complicated so far. Fine philosophy for a bank without pages and pages of small print. The app is a sheer delight to use with transfers made in a timely fashion. Looking forward to being with this bank for a long time. The development of this bank must have been well thought out as it ticks all the boxes so far. Reviewed on: 20th April 2024

I love Starling!

I switched to Starling four years ago and haven't looked back. I began with a personal account and then a business account. I love that the business banking is free and has so many features for financial planning whilst the personal account has interest payments. I love Starling! Reviewed on: 19th April 2024
