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

Exceeding Expectations

To attract new customers, companies routinely raise the bar of expectation so high that new clients are destined to be underwhelmed by the product or service once they begin to use it. My experience of Starling bank from day one has been the very opposite of that opening caricature, Starling bank have routinely exceed my expectation and every transaction I attempted has been successful despite initial pessimism. Transferring to Starling bank is that best financial decision I have made in the past 5 years. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Excellent and efficient.

Starling have really impressed me with their user friendly intuitive package, from apps to customer service. They have cleared the deadwood cluttering the processes and clunky procedures of the high street banks and feel like a breath of fresh air. I am in my mid sixties and find the simplicity and efficiency first rate. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

So easy to use

Everything is clear, and easy to use. It's fantastic you can contact them through the app instead of waiting on the phone. The saving spaces and child's kite account really help with budgeting Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
