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

How Banking should look like in the 21st century !

Starling Bank such a leader in the banking sector and other banks should follow them. Over the years I tried most of the Uk's bank but so far Starling is the best. I hope they will keep it up. Quite like their emails about the new updates because at least we have a bit more insight what's been changed. The money pots are very practical feature as well. One little thing that they could take this to the extra mile if they would create an automatic budgeter so let's say on the 1st of every month the app would leave on the main account a set amount and the rest of them would go straight to the savings :) Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Banking Perfection

Every aspect of banking with Starling is easy. From application to the app, to cashing cheques (who knew a bank could do it with a photograph!!) to opening an account for my daughter. It’s a PLEASURE to bank with them as as soon as I can get out of the evil clutches of Barclays, Starling will have my business accounts too. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

What modern banking should be like

Starling keeps producing features that allow me to really control my money. The saving spaces are such a great idea and the fact they're still part of my main account means I still get interest from them. Being able to pay directly out of them is so convenient as well. It's such a neat, straightforward app and easy to use. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

The Bank of Banks

Starling was recommended to be by a friend. He showed me his app and what he could all do from the comfort of his phone. I was hooked and couldn’t wait to open my own account, goodbye TSB. Set up was super easy and when my card arrived it came in a nice envelope, really nice paper (I have a thing for stationery). All in all it’s been a joy since then. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
