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

Great app and service

Banking as it should be, great service, timely updates to technology and easy to use. What more could you want? Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

Best bank I've had

I've convinced quite a few people to switch over. They're so helpful and the app is brilliant. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

How banks should be in 2022!

Starling is everything a bank should be. Fantastic app, really user friendly, great customer service 24/7, instant mobile notifications (other banks are only just realising this is a necessity). I’ve never looked back! Lead the way Starling, they’re all chasing but they’ll never catch up! Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

Best Digital Banking Experience

After joining Starling just over 3 months ago through the switching service I've managed to completely end my need for cash and recommended starling to three others, in rural areas where banking branches are shutting down the ease of app use has been fantastic. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022
