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

Easy Use

I like Starling because it is easy to useand account details are updated quickly. There staff are very helpfull. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Just simply the best

Everything is so brilliant about this bank, card app. Other banks are just doing some of the stuff that starling has been doing for ages. One of those things is when you spend automated notification of your spend. The rounding up feature too is brilliant for savings. I used to “skim” my account in to a savings account manually now I don’t have to. These little things are brilliant and pioneering being used now by other main stream banks. I love the element of saving in euros and being able to toggle to euros when abroad Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Best banking experience ever

I needed an account to hold Euros. The way Starling enables you to set up a Euro account linked to a current account is so easy to set up and use. It almost took me 10 minutes to set up from start to finish. Absolutely amazing. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Fast, Functional and forward thinking

Whilst I maintain my high street bank I have found myself leaning more and more towards starling. The many features including saving and bills spaces, are innovative, the interaction is smooth and constantly adapting to the many needs of their users. I have recommended to all my friends and colleagues. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Very easy and simple to understand

From the outset getting things sorted has been extremely straightforward and quick. No hassle, unlike many high street brands I could mention. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Gives me brilliant financial organization

I moved from a traditional account to Starling and what a difference! I love the spaces feature for saving and have set up my daughter with a Kite account which gives her independence. I feel more focused with my finances and far more organized. I love my new account. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Amazingly easy

Love, love, love the Saving Spaces & Bills Manager. So easy to use and gives clarity on what’s left for day to spending. So helpful when on a tight budget. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Sterling no worries

Hassle free, excellent customer service, easy to use, amazing app with handy tools and features. Main Street bank holder for over 35 years would never switch back. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

So simple and easy to use

I find Starling the best bank I have ever used Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Ease

I’m not the best at numbers so I need screen based banking to be clear and simple. Starling is just that and I appreciate the work they are doing to make new features strengthen that core quality. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
