Starling Bank Current Account reviews (27364)

A great online account

I have been with Starling for over 5 years and the bank has improved its services year after year. Any problems I have had (and to be honest have been caused by myself) are dealt with quickly by the customer service team. The App is excellent and they keep it fresh by improving it every year. I particularly like the icons and backgrounds that can be changed with the seasons. It’s nice to see snow when you are checking your balance. It’s easy to set up savings pots to which you can even add a ‘virtual debit card’ to make payments from. You can also set up direct debits to be paid from savings pots. I have never had any problems with the App, I’ve never been unable to make payments and I am very happy with both the service I have received and the feeling of confidence I have with the bank.

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Ray, thanks for your review, we really appreciate it. We aim to make banking convenient and hassle-free so we're glad to hear we're hitting the mark. It's great you're making the most of our Spaces and Virtual cards. Did you know you can add images to each space, we find doing this makes organising our funds a lot easier and also look nicer! We hope you enjoy being part of the Starling family for many years to come. Team Starling Response date: 28th February 2025

Easy Saver account is inaccessible.

Been a customer for 2+ years but turned down for an Easy Saver account with little or no explanation. Why stimulate demand if you can’t or won’t supply it. Contemptuous treatment of a previously satisfied customer. Will definitely be moving to Chase Reviewed on: 14th February 2025

Reply from Starling Bank Hi David, we're sorry we've been unable to offer you an Easy Saver. The Easy Saver along with the rest of our accounts are subject to eligibility. To keep us and our customers safe, we're unable to go into detail as to how we accept or decline an application. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by this.
