Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Fantastic bank made for today's life on the go

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

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

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

Best bank known to mankind

I stand by my words in the title Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Quick and Easy to use

Feel so much more in control if y own money! Would like the child spaces to be free as don’t feel they justify a fee? Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Great bank

No hassle. Did not realise it was this easy to get a bank account. No long forms or meeting. Does exactly what is meant to do. Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Good

Good bank has good customer service and very easy to use Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Where Starling leads, others follow.

I opened a Starling account about 18 months ago and continue to be impressed. As a 60 something it's easy to navigate around the app. To pay in cheques on the app. To know what my money is doing, and to keep tabs on my spending. I particularly like the fact that, as I make a payment on my card, I get an immediate message on my phone - great to prevent fraud. Well done Starling! Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Just the best

I've been with every high Street bank in the UK and always had an issue with them. Starling are on a different level to them. If I have an issue with a payment or a question, I get a response within minutes. I don't have to spend 30 mins in a call queue like with the other banks. Starling integrate with many services which means my finances across pensions, investments are all linked, and have been for a long time. High Street banks are only just releasing these features. Starling are ahead of the curve. Genuinely love having them as my bank Reviewed on: 26th March 2022
