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

Excellent, easy to use account

Even for an oldie the account is straight forward and easy to use. Cannot fault it ! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

The best bak accunt ever!

In 30 years of having a bank account, this is the best one I have had. Its transparent, helpful budgeting, clear and easy on the eye and makes banking less stressful. Will not have any other account but this one - excellent :-) Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Just the Best Bank Ever!

Starling is a bank that actually really does have the customer’s needs in mind. Functionality, simplicity, versatility - Starling literally helps you control your money, rather than a bank doing it for you. I changed to Starling two years ago after years of traditional banking. I would never ever go back. I’m a bit of a Starling evangelist! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
