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 best bank I've had.

I've had experience with 5 different high St banks and I honestly only signed up to Starling on a whim. I've since left the other bank I was with and simply adore Starling. It's so easy, it's secure, the customer service is brilliant and UK based. I can't fault it at all. I love the fact I can have multiple saving pots on the go which is great for budgeting. My card details are always with me and I'm instantly notified when the card has been used. Making payments to others is easy and knowing in advance what I have coming in or going out is so helpful. Definitely sticking with Starling. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Motion of the ocean

It was an absolute swimming experience and I had ever so much ease using the application which Starling Bank had provided. I feel obliged and honoured to write this review. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Everything I want from a bank

I've been with Starling Bank for 3 years now and and I have always been really impressed with the service and features provided. Starling has helped me and my family take better care of our finances. By far our most used feature in the App is Spaces, and the ability to pay bills directly from Spaces has made keeping on top on regular payments so much easier! When my daughter is old enough, I intend to set her up with a Kite account so that she can benefit from Starling's approach to managing money too. I reccomend Starling to anyone who will listen!

Excellent service

Very professional and easiest way to bank. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Outstanding

From initial opening of my account. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Starling. The ease of managing my account, the option of prompt of updates and simplicity of it all. Customer service is the best I have experienced. I am beginning to have memory problems. Consequently I got myself into a bit of a pickle with passwords and pin numbers at the check out of a busy supermarket. Starling Customer Service rescued me, helping me reset my account and paying for my groceries. The Spaces system is exactly what I need. I used to need 3 separate accounts, now its all in one app I have an account for traveling abroad within my Starling account making travel finances so easy. All in all, Starling Bank is a Benchmark that other banks should aspire to. Outstanding! Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Easy and simple set up.

All of the services of a high st bank with so much more flexibility and ease. All set up, simply, from my sofa. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Straightforward, quick, safe

The account was quick to set up with safety measures that were reassuring without being onerous. The account is simple to manage and the app has a number of features that conventional banks do not offer. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
