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

My primary bank account for over 3 years now

Excellent service and continuing to innovate and set industry standards Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Brilliant!

I initially opened a Starling Business account because the bank I’ve been with since I was 12 was making it too hard to open an account. Starling made it incredibly easy. The app is amazing, features are fantastic & I’m in love with spaces! I’ve now opened a personal account too and am considering moving everything across to it because starling make life so easy. I used to have multiple savings accounts but now I just have one account & use the spaces in Starling. At every turn Starling make things quick & easy - when I got married I sent them a copy of my marriage certificate & they changed my name no problem. I still haven’t changed my name on my other bank account as I have to physically go to the bank with about 6 different forms of evidence. Starling are revolutionising banking with the customer at the forefront of their decisions - well done Starling! Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

An innovative bank, brilliant ideas and features

So many things are fantastic! Being able to write notes on each transaction and add a photos of the receipt/invoice (and products bought if buying online). Notifications to let me know when a payment (direct debits, standing orders, regular and normal card payments that have been made, Being able to save money in as many saving spaces as I need without having to open a new savings account- they are combined and interest is earned on the whole balance of the savings spaces and the current account. The brilliant new feature where a direct debit or standing order can be made from a savings space.which makes saving money for bills etc so much more organised… the Kite account for children under 16 gives kids a bit of freedom and responsibility with their money whilst I can keep an eye on what they are spending. I have recommended Starling Bank to friends and family. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
