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

Simple, comprehensive and no hassle

Tried out Starling as an experiment a few years ago, I love everything about their user experience and cannot fathom why the mainstream banks still haven't got comparable offerings. Reviewed on: 29th January 2022

Fantastic!

The overall customer journey from applying for the account to receiving my debit card has been faultless. Well done and keep up the great work. Reviewed on: 29th January 2022
