Starling Bank Current account reviews (27458)

Banking as it should be

5
Clear and straightforward banking. Simple to use app with no fussy unnecessary bloat on the menu pages. Love the instant text to confirm transactions - a great security feature. With interest payable on current account balance and a Euro holding available too - fantastic! Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Really unhelpful

1
I have a really good credit rating, I’ve been banking with them for a couple of years now, and I have a business account for my consulting work with a healthy turnover. They go sniffy with me, asked questions to which they have all the answers if they bothered to look at my accounts, and did a hard credit search when I asked for an overdraft facility. I am now back to looking for a branch bank with a UK call centre Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Superb app, fabulous service

4
The Starling Bank App is superb. It is a first class piece of software engineering, designed with the customer at heart. Extending this on to a browser based experience with extended functionality also works exceptionally well. The customer service is fast and responsive. All in all a top quality experience.

Fantastic bank made for today's life on the go

5
I joined Starling two years ago and love how user friendly the interface is. I am overseas a lot and really also appreciate the free cash withdrawals and very favourable rates for sending SWIFT payments. Starling has become a critical banking tool for me. Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Great, modern, forward-thinking banking

5
A fantastic bank with a superb app that has loads of functionality and gives great helpful insight into your spending. Allows for a different, more positive relationship with money. Only downside - interest rate lower than most banks, but if that’s not factor it’s a fantastic app and bank to use! Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Everything is made simple and straightforward

5
I needed to open a bank account and found that Starling made it very simple and straightforward. Access to my account is very easy and the onscreen display makes it easy to see my balance and transactions. Reviewed on: 26th March 2022
