Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Outstanding

Right from the initial account opening experience, through to the (very rare) occasions I’ve needed to contact Starling’s support team (conveniently via in app messaging), it has been an outstanding experience. Everything is just so clean and simple. Long may it continue. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Simple yet effective

Using the app allows me to manage my finances really simply, but not in a detrimental way - I have access to everything I need and using it is clear and easy. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Perfection

Starling is everything I need or look for in my bank. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Excellent app and easy to use

I like the clarity of the app which makes the account easy to use and comprehend. Notifications are speedier than other banks provide. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

True ease and fantastic customers service

Who says a challenger digital bank can't be a grown up Bank too. My salary goes into my Starling CA and they have been great at responding to me whenever I need documentation, discuss disputes or need any help. Simplicity, reliability and fantastic human touch. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

The best bank

Great customer service, instant account updates, great app Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Best Bank Ever!

I’ve been with Starling now for over a year and it’s just amazing and so easy to use. I’ve recommended it to many of my friends just for its amazing saving options like ‘Spaces’ Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Easy to use

Account is really easy to set up and use. Transfers to international account simple and straightforward. Refreshing change. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Fantastic alternative to high street banks!

Interestingly enough, I came across the logo for Starling Bank in a customer satisfaction poster whilst standing in a branch of Santander, who I've had a current account with for the last 14 years. I'd just returned from 4 years of working overseas and everything seemed like I had to jump through hoops to be able to do something simple like manage my finances. After being blocked out of my account with Santander on two occasions whilst trying to make an £8 transfer to a family member, I decided it was time to get out of a traditional high street bank. I did my research on Starling (even ordering Ann Boden's book) and after opening a current account and switching, I haven't looked back. It was so simple to set up and I love the visibility of the app - I can clearlt see where my money is and create multiple savings spaces for the future. I'm now trying to convince my parents and my partner (and essentially anyone who will listen to me ramble on about good Starling is) to make the switch! Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

It just works!!

Everything I need in a bank account, clear, efficient, secure and fully featured with new innovations arriving regularly Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022
