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

Perfect bank for me

All you can ask for from a bank Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Brilliant even for us oldies!

We aren’t young and to be honest the thought of an online bank was a bit of a thought. We can’t praise it enough for simplicity and ease of access and has been the best move we have ever made. Well done Starling a great product. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

The new updates from time and again are making my use of account very easy and reliable. I am using my space, easy and quick transfer of funds, using for shopping and can easily see my card details. I love using this bank. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Amazing

Your transaction is so fast and accurate, especially transferring money from my account to other accounts. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Easy to use app & great features

I swapped to Starling from Natwest and was immediately struck by the difference. The ability to pay a cheque in via the app and have it clear in just 2 days was a complete game changer for me, especially as I no longer had access to a local physical Natwest branch where I could pay a cheque in and the Post Office takes up to 7 days to clear - a brilliant way of doing things Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
