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

A great bank focused on the customer

Great bank that meets all my needs in a simple, modern way. They are a bank that makes me feel they are there for me, rather than the other way around. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

The way a bank should be...

With all the High Street Banks pushing you online & with branch closures Starling was the obvious answer & I have not been disappointed. Common Sense has finally prevailed in the banking world. Can't recommend enough. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
