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

Best banking app I've ever used

The most simplest banking app I've used with the best features. Viewing expenditure in different ways and having spaces has made managing my spending budget so much easier. Reviewed on: 25th January 2022

Best bank ever!

5
I absolutely love Starling bank! The app is excellent and so easy and intuitive to use! Plus it doesn't break and stop you getting access to it for hours like all the other banks do. The best feature though has to be the Spaces functionality - i can't believe how much i use this and how great a feature it is. Saving has never been easier! Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Intuitive & convenient bank

5
The app has lots of features without feeling cluttered. I find the app most intuitive experience in comparison to other challenger banks. The current account doesn't hide features behind a paywall; it seems Starling has a coherent vision for what it wants to be which aspires trust. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022
