Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Best bank

Bank at my fingertips, very easy to use, pay bills and online purchases Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Older customers this is for you to.

I read about starling bank and took the plunge and joined online because it was relatively easy to do. Age 67. Some online stuff isn't easy, young people find it easy. I had my state pension paid into the account, that was easy. It did take a while to get used to what you had to do. I like the instant lock feature on the card. You don't need to remember an obscure tel number to speak to a robotic voice etc. Making payments , bank transfers, easy. You do need to keep you mobile handy. My previous bank account was hacked 3 yrs ago. Not my fault, I was made to feel like a criminal. A friend gave me good advice report it to police fraud depot. My account was reinstated in 3 days. No explanation over the fraud, the police told me it was a bank hack not an individual like me. This account makes me feel more secure. I am in control. The more I use it the easier it is. I trust this bank more than any other bank. The enrolment with the video. Can't be copied or controlled. So no one else can take control of your account. Starling go the extra mile . The other banks cant of won't, stuck in the past. I don't miss queuing in a bank branch for a simple transaction. So if your retired, a bit sceptical of online banking. Give it a go. You won't look back. Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

User friendly service

Been very satisfied with using online banking.If my wife and i find it easy so can any one else Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Excellent Customer Service

We had a problem with a company that we thought had scammed us. I contacted Starling Bank and they dealt with it immediately. The situation was resolved promptly and positively. The customer service representative kept me informed at each stage and provided very clear information. I was very impressed as other banks I have used have not provided this level of service.

Simple, organised and just brilliant

Everything about this banking app is easy to use, navigate and very intuitive. It makes organising your finances so effortless. Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Smart way to bank, with the customer at the forefront of their banking.

This is the way to bank, without the old-fashioned and stuffy bankers! Everything is managed online, your budgeting is easier, you can save in pots for various things and every time you use Starling to pay for something, an alert comes up. Ensuring you can track your spending and budget correctly. I have already told my friends and family about this, bye bye TSB! I love Starling and it's compatible with my Fitbit wallet/payments for ease, plus Apple Pay. Reviewed on: 19th January 2022
