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

A Bank that leads the non-high-street way

I was at first skeptical signing up to Starling because I had never used any bank other than a high street one. The prospect of having everything done online, with no opportuntiy to visit a branch if anything went wrong, seemed daunting. Starling, however, completely put my mind at ease with a reassuring and surprisingly approach to banking. So much so I now believe that customers can gain a much more valuable experience without visiting a branch. Even though Starling's history in the banking world has been short, I believe they are leading the way - the non-high-street way. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
