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 to deal with but credit interest needs to improve

4
As the title says, the app does everything I want and makes it easy for me to manage my money. I just wish they paid a better credit interest rate. Reviewed on: 25th January 2023

Best Account I've used

5
I absolutely love Starling Bank's current account for so many reasons. It not only has a large amount of unique features such as saving spaces but the cyber security is top notch. After having issues with previous banks with simple things like changing my address, it's a breath of fresh air to actually have control over my information and money. Reviewed on: 25th January 2023

Banking done right.

5
A wonderfully easy set up. Super helpful and more importantly, easy to get hold of UK based customer service 24/7. I've not had any issues with this bank. I look back at being with a high street bank and it just seems madness now. Reviewed on: 25th January 2023
