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 set up and great visibility

I had to change bank as my previous bank was withdrawing service. I was with one account and no transfer service was possible. So I was very stressed but it has been so easy to set up payments and send my bank details to my pension companies. And I now have absolute control and visibility - essential on a very limited budget Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great banking experience

Some great features not available with other banks. I've been banking with them for several years and not had any issues. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

I left my high street bank for Starling, they have given me so much more support and make tracking payments and bills that much easier! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Changing to Starling was my best move!

Changing to Starling was my best move! In the changing banking landscape Starling have led the way with their approach and app. I'm in control and can do anything from the app. I love the spending alerts and the need to confirm some payments to complete a transaction. I appreciated the slight delay when transferring a large sum of money to ensure checks are made before release. I feel confident that my money is safe with Starling. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
