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

Change for the better

Changing over to Starling was very easy and straightforward just like their banking got everything you need to manage your finances and support on hand if needed Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Modern Banking

Effortless banking and banking services at the press of a button! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Starling current account

Best bank in the UK, simple to use, 24 hr customer service, very, very happy Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Best customer service

You can live chat and solve any questions within minutes. Barclays who I was with, are terrible in comparison Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Best bank ever

This is hands down the easiest and best online bank I have ever had. The app is perfectly crafted to empower you to understand your expenditure, you can tuck money away in “spaces”, have total control of your card - how much to tap, secure authentication etc and I’ve recommended it to so many people they must think I’m on commission. On top of this, they beat the high street bank rates. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Excellent banking

Ease of use clear and understandable text web pages well designed and always work well. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Brilliant bank

Brilliant bank, no issues whatsoever. I’m finally for the first time in my life able to actually start saving money now as it makes it so easy with the squares. It has changed my life. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Fantastic!

Really pleased with all the helpful features that come with a Starling bank account and the app, especially the spaces feature. Makes banking so much easier and organised! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

New customer

We originally chose Starling because there are no charges when using the account abroad. It has been absolutely brilliant and we are using it more and more. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Easy

The account is easy and secure. Little things like being asked if I want my contactless limit changed, make a big difference. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
