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

Quick to set up, easy to use

It took 2 hours for Starling to validate my details and open account. I did this from the comfort of my couch! Lloyds were asking me to come over to branch to open an account while Omicron variant was getting people sick. I recommend this bank over everyone else. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
