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

Highly efficient

Such an efficient bank and banking system, I have absolutely no banking worries at all, they are totally on top of everything and they get better each year. Can’t praise them enough. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

BAnking that you can control

Good to be aböle to have full control of banking. Would have preferred more options to transfer money into the account. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

21st Century bank

Having a branch, and queues, and cheques is so outdated for me. Starling doesn’t have any of that. Everything I need is done through the app, with new ideas always being added like the bills space, I can’t ask for more. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Easily best account I've used

Incredibly easy to manage day to day spending. Spaces are great. Love that I can see when money is spent or arrives instantly. Like the security features. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Why would you ever choose a different bank

I switched to Starling for ethics reasons, but it has ended up being so much better than every other bank I've used. The app is amazing and incredibly easy to use. Never going back. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

The most intuitive online banking site.

Starling is the online banking site you just wish had been around way back when, it is by far the best bank to use without any fuss or complications. It’s beautifully simple design is appealing too, it just works so well. I love it. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
