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

Great bank and app

I have found Starling to be an excellent bank. Easy to open the account online. No issues whatsoever since I was a customer (7 months approx.) I use the app daily and it always works correctly (unlike my other bank). Useful breakdown of monthly expenditure in the app for easy analysis. I even get some interest monthly on my current account (so better than my other bank). Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
