Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

No-Nonsense

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

Good international bank

I've only just signed up for them but was quick and easy and I'll be testing them out when I next go backpacking. Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Love it

Banking done. And when you think it’s already amazing they release a new and useful feature. Reviewed on: 12th January 2023

Remarkable

Everything that I've always wanted from my bank is possible with Starling. I have settled for poor service for too long and then Starling came along and I don't have to worry anymore. Reviewed on: 12th January 2023

Excellent digital bank

User-friendly, great user-experience and intuitive app, highly recommended ! Reviewed on: 12th January 2023

Fresh, feminine banking - perfect for every woman (and man!).

I changed to Starling bank last year and haven't looked back. It's fresh and modern, constantly updating to suit customers' needs, and has a lovely feminine touch which makes all the difference to my banking experience. Reviewed on: 10th January 2023

Excellent bank with forward thinking ideas

Been with this bank for years and it constantly improves its software and services. My children and grandchildren now have accounts and the grandkids love using the card… they are all under 10 Reviewed on: 10th January 2023

Good bank, simple app interface

I have a current account with Starling and also a joint account with them. Transferring money between the two is extremely simple, and the app interface is simple too. Starling allows you to create 'spaces' to put money into, making it easier to budget. Direct debits can be paid straight out of these spaces making it much easier to manage your money. My experience with Starling has been entirely positive - I would give 5 stars, however: My partner, who also has an account with Starling, did experience an issue where they briefly locked his account. It took a while to get through to customer services however the problem was resolved once we managed to get through. It isn't ideal not having a physical bank to deposit cash, however, this is to be expected with an online banking service. Reviewed on: 31st October 2022

Great app and customer service

Great app and customer service, only problem is I had to use another bank for an Executors Account. Reviewed on: 26th September 2022

Great online achievement. Excellent customer service.

Very happy with them nearly 3 years. Staying. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2022

Easy communication

Always feel they know exactly what they are doing. Very comfortable relationship. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2022
