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

Brings Banking into the 21st Century!

I have had absolutely nothing but positive experiences with Starling. The app is fantastic, account set up extremely easy, and the notifications are brilliant. The IT company who designed the app should be given a medal, it just works exactly as it's supposed to all the time and is super easy to navigate. Customer service is also fantastic. Can't recomend them enough!! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Starling bank, sterling service.

Moved over to Starling two years ago from a well known high street bank. Nothing but good things to say, no regrets. I’ve also recommended them to friends and family who now agree with me. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Just great overall

Everything is easy and quick. From navigating the site to paying bills. I especially like the forward notice for outgoing payments and incoming payments. It’s very useful for me to be reminded. Thanks Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
