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

Great online bank.

Great online bank. Works with my Garmin watch [which not all banks do]. Offers a wide range of options to help savings at very good rates. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Starling, far better than hsbc in my opinion

Moved from hsbc as they were never available and took me for granted never improving their poor service. Starling always resolve any issue in minutes, Great service. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Best bank I have used in over 50 years
