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 personal banking

We switched a year or so ago and have never looked back. You can manage the account from your phone and it is designed to make your life easier, rather than the bank. So different to high street banks. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

All In One service just at fingertips.

I'm quite amazed with the starling bank and its excellent banking features but would like to suggest one thing about cash deposits, I feel considering the enormity of its users Starling Bank should install its own Cash Machines, Deposit Machines for more convenience to users and reduce the hassle of walking upto post offices or avoid extra deposit/withdrawal charges from other bank machines.
