Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Very clear and very good

5
Starling is very good how it shows you what’s coming in and out of your account it feels like you have control over your finances and it’s very clear on how it is. It’s the best banking app by far :) Reviewed on: 31st March 2022

Excellent banking for users of all ages

Some colleagues were worried that they wouldn’t be able to have a bank account with a branch less bank. After having discussions they were surprised about how much they didn’t need a branch and were willing to give it a go, they haven’t looked back since. Reviewed on: 31st March 2022

Best Bank by far

5
I approached several banks as a refugee to open an account and they turned me down. Starling was welcoming and made the process that others had made complicated so clear and simplified the application process for me. I had my account verified and up and running the same day. So grateful! Reviewed on: 31st March 2022

The best current account I have used.

5
The Starling Bank current account is the most user friendly and logical account I have held. The layout of the app is logical and allows me to track spending and easily save money and pays bills from the account. Reviewed on: 31st March 2022

Easy to use

5
I've recently made the switch from Halifax to Starling. The process to register took less than an hour. I love the spaces system which helps me organise my goals (the big one for me is saving up for a house deposit). I also reallt like the home screen page which gives you a visual representation of your spendings to see where you might be overspending and what other expenses you deal with in that month. Really useful stuff. Really wishing Starling the best and hoping for them to expand their services. Reviewed on: 31st March 2022

Great account

5
Really convenient banking, app is simple to use but with lots of features. Never had an issue with any aspect of it. Reviewed on: 31st March 2022
