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

Makes banking easy!

Starling bank has made budgeting and controlling my money so easy. As a young person we are not always taught about how to budget and save money but with the spaces sections on starling I have saved so much more than I ever could have imagined! It has made me more aware about my money and how to save it. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Wow

Wow never knew a bank app and card so easy to use and control, features are great and new ones on the horizon. I was with my other bank for many a year thought I'd try this one as a back up, now moving all my direct debits and more to this one. Nothing negative from me Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Fantastic service for the modern global age

Starling provide an excellent banking service especially in this modern global age. Personally, I have found their Euro account especially useful. And someone who has a second home in Germany its policy of not charging a mark up the exchange rate extremely fair. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Great features and fit for purpose.

Easy to apply for, with great competitive products that put the traditional banks on the back burner. I'd describe STARLING BANK, as "PRIMUS INTER PARES" (i.e. "First among equals") Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
