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

Refreshing new style bank

I’ve never had any issue with Starling. If I need to speak to Customer Services it’s virtually instant via chat or in person by the phone. Nothing seems too much for this bank. Interest rates from the big 4 On the savings. The convenience of a euro account attached to my current account makes transactions abroad easier and less costly as the big 4 Banks charge for using abroad and the best thing is being tied to the MasterCard exchange rate when travelling abroad instead of a Tourist rate of exchange makes this also very cost-effective Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Brilliant

Best bank I have yet had the pleasure of dealing with both in South Africa and abroad, I recommend it to everyone who will listen and give it a try - absolutely 100 out of 10 Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Quick and efficient!

In addition to making banking so much easier, I had a great experience when I needed to resolve an issue with my bank. It was quick, I was informed every step of the way, and the issue was resolved without fuss. Great bank! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Starling won't give you the bird

From the initial easy opening of my account to the simplicity of daily operation Starling is hard to beat. I particularly like the instant notification of payments in or out and customer service, though hardly ever required is second to none. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Best App and great service.

I have several bank accounts but this is the best. Even better than First Direct whose app is no where near as good. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
