Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

I have had an account for a couple years and I have watched other banks fade away. When I joined Starling, I signed up through the application on my phone. It was very easy. I confirmed my identity online, with somethey help me via live chat. I can upload cheques to my account. When I am a little out of pocket, I find a few spare pennies that have been automatically saved for me with each purchase. Starling is progressive and targets the current age and that is wonderful. Older people seem to get left behind in the times. This encourages them to adapt and embrace them. It welcomes them into the new age. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Easy no frills bank

Set up and using Starling Bank

Opening the account was so easy, no stressful forms to complete, just simple and easy to follow instructions. Using the account is just as easy and I love best of all using The Spaces to keep finances in order. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Slick digital banking

Great, progressive banking experience Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

All singing all dancing

Never looked back since getting my starling current account. Waxed lyrical about it to others and my whole family are on it now. Just so easy to manage money. So many ways it's changed the way money works in the household; grandad buying his euros, grandma not using cheques in birthday cards, kids paying their debts! And in the now contactless world, everyone and their watch is invited! Can thoroughly recommend. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Was in 2 minds whether to open account with Starling but they are excellent and the App is far better than the High St banks Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Easy to use
