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 to use banking app

The starling banking app is so easy to use with an intuitive visual approach. I love how you can label outgoings and income easily and visually so you know exactly what you have spent were. The payee verification process makes me feel very secure and the the saving spaces are perfect for allocating money and again are extremely user friendly. Looking forward to trying the function to add in receipt photos to make my life even easier. I will definitely be creating my 11yr old his first bank account with Starling very soon.
