Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
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 and accessible!

I actually didn't know digital banks existed until my spouse pointed me towards Starling and I've never looked back! It fits in perfectly with my lifestyle. It's all very straight forward to use and accessible. Even signing up for an account as an American resident in the UK was a breeze. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
