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

The future of banking

Beautifully simple and elegant app. Great features and a genuine alternative to the huge high street corporate monsters Reviewed on: 20th January 2022

Great bank, really impressed

We switched over to Starling a few months ago and have nothing but praise. They seem to have thought of everything you could want in a bank account! I love the round up feature and the spaces for saving etc. I love that the app notifies you each time the card is used and it's great that you get prior reminders of payments that are due to come out of the account- handy for those subscription payments that only come out once every 6 months! All in all I'm a fan so far! Reviewed on: 20th January 2022
