Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Banking at your fingertips

The Starling app is user friendly and really easy to use. From transferring money, paying in a cheque to setting up a direct debit. One thing I really like is the option to limit the amount you can spend via transaction on contactless.. all in all, it’s a great banking app. Highly recommended.. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

I love Starling bank ! I have been a customer with them for 3 years and they just do exactly what I needs seamlessly and quietly in the background. I like the way they allow open banking so I can easily get cashback on my spending. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

Starling and my security

Started banking with Starling last year and get alerts when money is taken from my account. Up to date with my balance and great help if any suspicious events occur. I was given notice of a withdrawal that was fraudulent and Starling helped me block the intruder Reviewed on: 19th May 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Norrie, we take fraud seriously at Starling and the app is always kept up to date, so you can keep an eye on your transactions!

Simply great banking with Starling

Simply great bank which was recommended to me and which I recommended to a couple of friends who are using it as well. Love the various saving options, great exchange rates with no additional charges, the speed or money transfers, the fact I can add notes to some transactions which is useful when abroad to recognise them later. There are so many features, some of which I don't use yet/still. Standard banks have a lot of catching up to do to become as flexible and friendly in terms of managing banking via application! Reviewed on: 9th May 2024

Reply from Starling Bank A big thanks to who recommended you to us. We're really happy you're enjoying using your account and it's helping you manage your money. Thanks for recommending us to your friends. We appreciate you! Team Starling Response date: 10th May 2024
