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

Just brilliant

Starling just makes banking so easy. If you need to open another account, it's simple, contacting them is fast and easy. They should have named it simple Banking Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

startlingly good starling bank

A bank that actually feels supportive and friendly. It’s so easy to use even for a luddite like me. It’s a revelation and a revolution in a stodgy old sector. Bravo Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Great app-based current account

Easy to use. Does everything I need from a current account. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

good communications

Always on chat to help with any queries Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Overseas usage

Travelled abroad to Scandinavia without any money and found the starling card really useful with exchange rates and spend information really easy app and very informative, great service Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

A banking revolution

The ability to monitor and access your bank without going on line, to buy and spend in other currencies, using your card or smart phone, and have instant access to all your bank history is amazing. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Great control over my money

Best bank I’ve ever used on the planet Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Banking as it should be

Starling provides a way of banking that is absolutely appropriate to the times we live in. No more schlepping into branch with a printed copy of this or that (who has printed copies of anything these days?) The tools to manage your money and people you transact with are super easy and logical. Verification of ID by video is genius. And even down to the little enhancements that happen throughout the year; they're all based around what the user needs. Great bank and great app. I recommend all the time. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
