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

What makes starling Bank different is that, they send you a notification when you receive a payment

In addition to the above competitive advantage, Starling Bank’s international transfer fees are responsible compared to other banks. We sent money to Canada, arrived next day Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Efficient

Kept well informed about transactions . Bad at giving overdraft facilities , other banks have given me at least £100 . Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Too quality

Unlike most banking apps. I’ve never had a problem signing in and using. Very reliable. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

The best bank I have ever used

Starling Bank is simple to use and they keep adding new features that help you keep control of your money. The saving spaces have helped me to start saving rather than spending all my money at once. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Have just come back from the Eurozone and it was great that my card took money straight from my Euro account and then switched back to Sterling when I got home. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
