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 with useful, ever evolving features

Easy to use app with functionality that is both useful, such as separating out cash into 'spaces' and linking direct debits to these (e.g. bills), and which is always developing. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Great bank account - everyone should have one!

Just so easy to use. I love the fact I can put money into multiple saving spaces without having to open another account. Also having the bill section where money goes in each month for my bills when I get paid and then I know the rest of my money in my account is mine to spend is amazing! I don't have to spend time thinking about what is to come out of my account and how much I have for the rest of the month. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Makes life simple!

I needed a separate bank account from my current and savings account that I have already. I set my Starling account up over the internet and moved my money easily. No hassles, I have the app on my phone and my iPad so I can check my money, move or pay for things really quickly with out any fuss. It’s nice to have a bit of money there for emergencies or something special. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
