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

Fairly easy and straight forward for everyday banking.

Fairly easy and straight forward for everyday banking. I find the saving spaces and request for money tools particularly useful. So far, the little interaction that I have had with customer service has been positive. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Starling have an excellent app and travel options.

Starling have an excellent app and travel options. They also have a decent interest rate on their free current account which is unusual these days. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Starling has changed the way I organise my money

I love the Spaces feature on starling and the ability to pay your bills directly from them. This feature has made it so easy to be organised financially and has allowed me to save an incredible amount of money in a short amount of time. Their breakdown on your spending and ability to categorise transactions is really useful for seeing where your money is going. I also get notifications alerting me that a bill is due to coming day. Would 100% recommend Starling to everyone. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

5 years in and still best bank I’ve had!

I have now been with Starling for about 5 years and without a doubt it is the best banking experience I have had for both my business and personal banking. The app makes budgeting and saving easy. I can categorise my expenditure, which makes my accounting simple to do. Queries are dealt with quickly, though the ‘bot’ is not that useful (but I’ve never found one that is!) however it’s easy to contact the customer service team and a real answer.
