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

Soooooo recommend!!

Simple. Funky. New world app. Love it. Biz accounts/ personal accounts all in one touch. Great worldwide card use. Proper traditional banking disruptor. Tried TIDE, not a patch on these guys Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

Better than high street banks!

Having been with RBS, TSB, HBoS over the years and finding them to be an absolute nightmare and completely useless in customer service, changing to starling was the best thing I could have ever done! They to me are are truly fantastic, their app is so good and easy to use and does everything you want it to and makes banking an absolute joy. From cheque depositing, checking your balances and payments to sending or receiving money between friends, family or tradespeople. It is so good. Love how you get notified of every transaction, when you get a message or payment in or even when a payment is due in the next day or two just so you are not left in the dark. I like that a lot! Their statements are simple and clear, without all the clutter and mess and give you clear concise information you need and you can view or download with ease. The customer service is second to none and the team are so respectful and give you personal respect as a person rather than you being another number on their sheet. I highly recommend starling. 100% Reviewed on: 25th January 2022

Great everyday bank

All scheduled payments are notified a day before. The additional card I gave to my wife so I can load and she can pay for stuff. Reviewed on: 25th January 2022
