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

Great

I love this bank, you can use it abroad and draw money out without being charged. The app is so easy to use and informative. It's brilliant that it does an account for kids too and just an overall brilliant bank and app Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

The greatest app of any bank!

5
Starling bank is fantastic at allowing you to have total control over your money. The Starling app is second to none, with fantastic features like, spaces, ability to pay bills from your spaces, bill sharing function for when you're out with friends etc. I've been with Starling a couple of years now and my only regret is I didn't ditch my high street bank sooner.
