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

The starling app is by far the best I've used

The starling app is by far the best I've used, simple but with all the information I need at a touch, I'm very impressed with my experience so far. Starling has made a long term customer in me. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Very good features for a 'no cost' account.

Very good features for a 'no cost' account. Constantly updated with new features. Excellent UI. Traditional banks are miles behind and it's like going back to the stone age with certain competition apps/UI designs. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

I joined Starling when I was studying abroad in South Korea. The staff is always friendly and ready to help in the best way they can. Also, I love the saving pots option which has helped me to save as well as the No fees when using abroad. I love Starling and always am ready to recommend to other people.
