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

Your bank in your pocket

My daughter recommended Starling Bank to me when we were out for dinner. She showed me some of the features of the app, like sending money to others easily and the notification every time you send anything from your account. This is a bank that encourages budgeting by making it easy and almost intuitive. The 'spaces' areas which act as piggy banks within your account, allow monies to be ringfenced for savings or for paying bills, so that it's easy to see what's left as spending money'. The budgeting tools which show you what you've been spending your money on can be an eye opener at the end of the month as every transaction can be categorised. Being able to set your own contactless limit to one below the general amount is very useful, especially if it's otherwise a bit too easy to spend without thinking. I'm finding myself interacting with this bank account more than others because of the insights it provides, which, when you should know exactly what's going on with your money, can only be a good thing.
