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

Just good service

Excellent service and IT services that work and are not “down” every other day Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

Simple straightforward banking

Everything you need to see or do is all available on the app! Starling let you know the day before via notification is anything is coming in or out of your account so you can prepare! Great bank Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

Gamechanger

I used to be scared of looking at my bank balance and used to bury my head in the sand rather than deal with the issue. When I was on furlough I used that time to look into my finances and change banks. I read that Starling were a great ethical bank so I thought I'd try them. The app has change my life. I always know how much money I have now and what I'm actually spending it on. It's honestly a game changer for me. Also being able to deposit money in a local Post Office is so much easier than having to go to a bank branch in town that I would always put off. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

The Best Bank Account Without doubt

great banking experience

i love using Starling bank for so many reasons. I particularly like the support of women employees in the company and the way people atre employed because of their skills rather than their paper qualifications. The app is so easy to use and the updates are efficient and relevant. Thank you for a great experience. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2022
