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

Best bank, great security

Best bank I've used, great security Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

How Banking should be

I got my Starling account as it was recommended to me because of how useful it was when travelling, for currency etc, but I love it so much I use it more and more everyday. It's easy to use, agile and very safe. LOVE IT. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

The way Banking should be!

I absolutely love my Starling account. I only opened it up in the last year and it has really helped me save for things using the Spaces feature. By not being able to 'see' the money you have put into a Space, you are then not tempted to go over on your day-to-day spending. Our whole family is now using Starling and to transfer money to one another is really easy. I also love that I have control over the contactless limit! It's a very empowering banking system. All round the best banking experience to date for me! Keep up the great work! Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Everything you need - Easy to use -

So easy to setup - up & running immediately. Quality product and pays interest on the balance in your a/c. All the features I need. Embarrassing for the bigger more established banks as Starling really are in tune with todays needs for banking and the others really are not. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

It's all just so easy to use.

Simple to set up, easy to use. No more traipsing in and out of banks, I can do it all on my phone. I like the way I can also hook up to my laptop. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
