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

As a start up Bank they have delivered when they have said and with the features promised.

It makes banking so easy I genuinely believe they actually have the customer best interests as a core of their business. No more being fobbed off in a branch with completely unprofessional personnel. I can get things done automatically but, if needed can still speak with a human being Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Excellent Service

Ever since switching banks Starling have been helpful in their customer service and I've been better at managing my money Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Out of this world

Simply excellent

Starling bank are quietly efficient and proactive without bombarding one with unwanted marketing non-sense. They seem to have “got it right”! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Fantastic customer service and brilliant app

Never had a better banking system in fifty years Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Great online bank

Never had any issues with this bank. The app has everything you need to manage your finances with cool features being added all the time. There’s no better card/account for travel either. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Innovative and practical

I/we use Starling for both individual accounts and a joint account. It's way ahead of the others particularly with its 'bill management' and straightforward account updates. No temptation's to go into the red either. You just can't! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Great product for banking

Really great app and service. Easy to use, nice interface, friendly staff and they're always making improvements. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Outstanding

Well designed app fro this bank. Great layout and everything works. Easy to operate and has the latest features which are very very useful. Best bank I have ever used - and I'm 65 and have had a current account since I was 18. Starling is the bast!!!!! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
