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

No fuss banking

I toiled with my old Bank for years, and they did not deserve my business, so I moved and don't have those headaches anymore. Reviewed on: 20th March 2022

Outstanding

More advanced than previously though Reviewed on: 20th March 2022

Amazing Bank

Everything from the app and it's features to the quick customer service responses makes this the best bank I've ever banked with. I'm near 50 and only been with starling a few years. So glad I made the switch. Reviewed on: 20th March 2022

Starling doesn't care!

Been scammed and at the same time protected by so called the best bank (Starling). When contacted they simply told me off and the money are gone. Blunt answer to my numerous emails was "there's nothing we can do" ... I still have the account as they DECLINED my request to close it but I'm not using it for a while. Deleted the app, cut the card, and basically tried to forget about them. I've also requested to unsubscribe from their emails and of course they didn't do it and I'm still receiving tons of emails. STARLING BANK, YOU ARE NOT THE BEST BANK. YOU ARE THE MOST UNCARING BANK IVE EVER USED! Reviewed on: 20th March 2022
