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

The future of banking

Switched from a traditional account because the previous bank wouldn't let me have a second account without charging. It's a revalation! Phone interface is brilliant, the savings pots are simple and great for paying bills as well. Notifications when money come in and out are instant, and it even notifies me the day before a bill will be paid if there isn't enough money in the account. Paying in cheques is instant with the phone as well. It's the future, and a world away from the traditional high street banks. The PC interface is decent as well, better than the other mobile banks. I have literally no complaints! Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Quick and easy service

Love how simple it is to set up and use this account. Things are made easier like requesting money and setting saving accounts. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Best bank I have ever dealt with!

Mobile app-based very modern approach takes all the sweat out of banking. Low-to-no fees. Great app-based account features. Moving away from the NatWest to Starling was one of the best decisions I've made! Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Best Bank I've ever had

The sign up is quick and easy, I can do everything I need to through the App including paying in cheques (this alone saves me hours). Ping money between other Starling customers. Fantastic. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

First Class Bank

Ticks all the boxes and highly recommend Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

No fuss.

Easy to set up. Can see at a glance where I need to spend less if needs be. Very clear and easy to manage my account on the app. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Just the best

Never had a single problem with starling - their layout in the mobile app is so clean and accessible. Incredibly easy to find everything you need such as: transactions (for different periods of time), all your card details if needed for online shopping, scheduled payments or direct debits and not to mention ‘spaces’. Spaces is a place for saving which is so easy to use and useful for saving up for little things. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Forward looking bank

Very intuitive tools to make banking easy Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Banking simplicity

Fast and effective banking with immediate alerts, transparency with transactions and minimal marketing. All of the reasons I created the account Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

There when needed most

Having been made redundant at the start of the pandemic, I was really fortunate to be offered a new position. The new job required me to start a Ltd company which was a challenge. Part of starting a business meant having a company bank account. I had been with Lloyds and Halifax all my working life (42 yrs) and was dumfounded that neither were able to provide a business account. None of the main banks were able to help. I did a bit of research and got the Starling app. The rest is history. It worked for me at a time when I needed it. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022
