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

As an international student and new to the UK, Starling Bank provided me with the best and seamless service of all the banks I considered.

The Best

Starling Bank is everything it claims to be - and more. With regular updates and numerous innovative features, the online banking app is the most usable, reliable, and flexible that I have found anywhere (having banked with several of the big banks over the years). Online security is excellent and Starling genuinely listens and responds to its customer’s needs - a rarity in the banking world from my experience. I would recommend Starling without any hesitation.
