Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
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

Brilliant

Really pleased that I changed my bank account to Starling. The app is simple to use, and any time money is received or withdrawn, I get a text notification. It also reminds me in advance of payments due. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Innovative and smart yet very user friendly.

I am enjoying getting my money organised. I love the little savings spaces for short and longer term savings, in separate pots. I have just set up a bills pot so, It pulls the set amount on my payday to cover all of my bills no matter which days they come out of my account. I don't have to give them anymore thought. i like it! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

An amazing new-age bank

A bank of the new era with much more to offer clients. The Z generation cannot be bothered with meaningless requirements of mainstream banks hence Starling becomes a reality that can attain the needs of the new generation. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
