Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
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

Managing my saving spaces on Starling has helped me organise and understand my outgoings and savings better. It's clean money, I know I'm not funding negatively through my bank. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Haven't had any issues yet. The times I have phoned with a query were dealt with promptly and professionally. The only issue I have is the overpayment at petrol stations. If that could be resolved then definitely would get a 5 star rating. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

As a customer, I was notified instantly about any transaction. It is very easy to send money abroad, and they ask me permission every time when online payments require Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

After being disappointed by my previous banking provider, I switched to Starling. It was very easy, great experience and interface. Also delighted that it’s an ethical organisation, run by a female CEO, and actually makes profit. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
