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

Why can't all banks be like this

Having used Starling for over a year, I'm left with one question - why didn't I change earlier. Who needs branches and unnecessary paperwork when the app is so efficient and easy to use. Can't recommend Starling highly enough. Reviewed on: 21st January 2022

Very user friendly and great spaces feature for the kids pocket money

Started using Starling last year - so much more of a user friendly experience than HSBC. Useful feature and very intuitive interface - would highly recommend Reviewed on: 21st January 2022

The Future of Banking Today

Brilliant Bank

I opened up an account with Starling last year and can honestly say it's such a breath of fresh air. The app is so seamless and easy to use. The features like Spaces and Settle Up are brilliant. The way the app is un-clunky and the design really pleasing to the eye. Would totally recommend it, especially if you're planning any holidays - no fees overseas and having 24/7 customer service on the app is super handy. Reviewed on: 21st January 2022
