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

Hugely better than Tyne Victorian high street behemoths

Really flexible and responsive. Excellent customer service, great security without being obsessive or putting needless obstacles in the way. Far cheaper to run than “regular” banks and altogether less arrogant to deal with. Plus it supports Garmin Pay. Superb. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Still up there.

Always adding and improving when possible. Still no problems, but nice to know help is always available if needed by chat or phone. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Would recommend - have recommended!

I'm always nervous recommending products or services, just in case that friend is disappointed... No such worries with Starling, the whole process from the moment you start opening an account is seamless. Customer service? No idea as in the 12 months since opening there has been no problems at all. Everything is self service, this is how all banking should be... Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Excellent modern banking

Starling bank are great, simple, no fuss and intuitive. Far superior to normal high street banks in my opinion and I’ve recommend them to many friends and family. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Brilliant bank

Easy to use app and no issues at all Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

My profession was banking consultant

A totally brilliant bank. Works for its customers rather than itself. Products straightforward. Access to your account details immediately. Notifies you whenever ther's been a transaction against the account. You know immediately where you stand. Has friendly staff on the phone should you need to ask a question. Has absolutely no drawbacks. Used to bank with HSBC. They have closed the nearest (busy) branch from my home so I used the branch in the local town, a busy town and they are closing that branch also. I know from past knowledge that they have a fatal flaw in their business model, but they aren't interested in learning about it. Starling just looks after your money, treats it as your money and is impressively efficient. Can't fault it. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
