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

Easy, fast, fee-less

I was introduced to Starling by a relative who wanted to try it out. Judging from my experience, it is so far the best bank if you want a current account for your daily expenses. Starling makes it easy to transfer and receive money, especially when you’re travelling abroad. It is a good bank for foreign students who are having difficulties in opening an account when arriving in the UK and a brilliant to control your expenses. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2022

Absolute gamechanger

Having been dropped in it by Tesco's cessation of current accounts we had to go bank shopping. After considering all UK banks Starling scored top. Once decided set up was smooth and seamless The functionality is on a completely different level. Everyone else needs to catch up. Absolutely delighted with our decision and the service offered.
