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

Banking for the 21st Century!

Love Starling. We transferred our accounts a couple of years ago and haven’t looked back. Easy to use, intuitive and also constantly making improvements and listening to customers needs. I’d recommend Starling to anyone. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Easy, uncomplicated, does what I need it to do.

I have still not taken the plunge and switched to Starling as my main financial provider, but I think I will in the near future. My current building society (Nationwide) no longer values my business now that I have paid off my mortgage. They have made it quite obvious that they don't care if I stay or leave. After 26 years I find this insulting and baffling. They also allowed an outdated building and contents insurance policy run for 3 years after it was discontinued and had been replaced by one that was 50% cheaper! Yes Nationwide still has high street branches but I don't feel that justifies its terrible customer service. Watch this space. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
