Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Simple and helpful

5
Being with Starling Bank is so easy; all app based and simple to use. Love the idea of separate pots eg for holiday savings, which is hidden from sight yet counts towards the whole account for interest purposes. Love it Reviewed on: 23rd January 2023

Best (British) bank

5
Best current account, best app, best API, best customer support - used them for years, used a lot of others on and off in between to find the perfect set up and always come back to starling - can't recommend them enough (especially now with virtual cards on pots, perfect for budgeting!)

The BEST current account provider

5
There’s just something about the simplicity but vast functionality of the starling app. So many features that the big banks are slow to catch up with. Some have similar features but they just can’t do it as well. Such as: the budgeting features and sheer amount of categories to make it personalised to you; The ability to separate your money however you see fit without having to apply for god knows how many savings accounts and then waiting a day for them to be set up. The user interface is clean, and professional. But it’s also fresh. All banking mobile apps look the same but starling stands out on top. Customer support is superb also. Quick response and incredibly helpful. I think that shows the staff clearly must feel good about the company they work for! P.s I work for one of the big 4!! And I cannot believe how many simple features starling have (that make it the best!) that we just can’t evolve. We’ll always be stuck in our old ways, trying to develop into a digital world without a clue what to do. Reviewed on: 20th January 2023

Amazing product that is the future

Amazing product that is the future of banking. I will never go back to a branch system and have transferred all my accounts over to Starling. Reviewed on: 20th January 2023

I love using Starling Bank! The app is easy to use, the customer service is great and the budgeting tools are a lifesaver. I highly recommend it! Reviewed on: 20th January 2023

So much better than any of its competitors. I can do everything I want to do without the need to ever go to a branch. I love the nearby payments feature Reviewed on: 19th January 2023
