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

Quick, easy, straightforward

We love pur new bank so happy with the app, we see clearly the spending and even can add notes to them. We can create an extra saving 'pot'for holidays or something inside the account, it was easy to set up joint account. I highly recommend them Reviewed on: 12th February 2022

So glad I switched!

I used to bank with a traditional high street bank but was fed up of receiving different advice depending on branch/phone/Internet. It caused so many issues for me. A friend recommended Starling and its the best thing I've done. Easy to use. Brilliant ways to manage my money and keep on track. Plus, when I have spoken to customer support, it has been helpful and consistent. Brilliant service so far. I can't recommend it enough. Reviewed on: 12th February 2022

Transparent service

I opened the account after reading the reviews. I have not been disappointed. You can monitor your account so easily with live tracking of transactions. Reviewed on: 12th February 2022

Having opened 2 accounts I found it really easy and the app is clear and simple. It’s nice to receive notifications when someone has paid me Reviewed on: 12th February 2022
