Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

I have had an account for a couple years and I have watched other banks fade away. When I joined Starling, I signed up through the application on my phone. It was very easy. I confirmed my identity online, with somethey help me via live chat. I can upload cheques to my account. When I am a little out of pocket, I find a few spare pennies that have been automatically saved for me with each purchase. Starling is progressive and targets the current age and that is wonderful. Older people seem to get left behind in the times. This encourages them to adapt and embrace them. It welcomes them into the new age. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Very happy indeed. Excellent!

I only need a straight forward current account service. So although I don’t have direct experience of any of Starting’s additional services I would have nothing but confidence in using or recommending them from the experience that I do have. The app is clear and easy to work with, the Saving Spaces feature is excellent and the ethos of the bank is sound. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Starling Aces Banking

Reliable no frills current account, good app and online access, responsive customer service Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Starling defines banking

Starling implemented features in its app in what seems like a timeline before other banks thought if possible. Their podcast series in how it runs was most appreciated for its transparency.It's circulars are thoughtfully put together Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great Service

straightforward and easy to use App, when I needed some in person help it was easy to get in touch with a "real person" and they where understanding, empathic and really helped with my query Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

EASY TO SET-UP - EXCELLENT VISIBILITY - SUPERB FOR OVERSEAS USE - MONTHLY INTEREST ON BALANCE IS NICE Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Couldn’t imagine switching elsewhere

Starling offers a great interest rate for a basic current account. The unlimited pots let me organise my budget easily, and the ability to connect a card to a pot makes this even better. The app is very easy to use compared to other banks. The spending breakdown is very informative. The customer service when I’ve rarely needed to use it has been good. They handled a dispute I had well, even though I ended up resolving it with the merchant directly in the end. I often recommend Starling to friends and family. It’s gone from an account for occasional fun money to my main bank account I pay my wage into. I couldn’t imagine switching at this point. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Best bank ever: I love how easy the app is to use.

I love how easy the app is to use. I’m able to manage my money a lot better with the weekly view and round ups. I have the ability to save for different things and manage payments. Starling is just the best Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

literally never had any problems and now I get what seems like a great amount of interest on my current account. i love the saving spaces and virtual cards, they’re really useful. i get very quick notifications when i spend or send money. having a starling bank account is just easy and im really glad i chose this instead of a conventional bank Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

By far the best bank I’ve ever used

By far the best bank I’ve ever used, not even in the same solar system. The app is incredible. Everything is so easy and quick. A truly modern bank that makes the traditional banks seem like dinosaurs. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
