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

Best Banking

5
I absolutely love Starling bank which makes banking and saving so very simple. The app makes everything so accessible. The only thing I would like to see added is a means to link other bank accounts and Money Dashboard to Starling so that all accounts can be managed via the Starling app. That will definitely take things to another level. Overall a great user experience. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Easy to use account with great features

Starling current accounts offer features that put you more in control of your personal finances than my previous high street bank did. Easy to operate with a nice clear format and a lot more customer focused than my last bank, I have already recommended Starling. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Does exactly what it should and better

5
I originally opened my account with Starling to use my card abroad for the lowest exchange rates and no fees, however since then I discovered so many useful features that I now use it as one of my main cards. They keep updating their processes so everything is so clear and easy to use and I particularly like how easy it is to keep track of my spending in certain areas. I would highly recommend and wished other banks would follow their lead! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Starling are flying!

5
Opened this account in November and found it to be so easy to use and the fact that i can pop in to any Post Office to deposit cash into my account makes it so simple. I also like the fact that when i receive a cheque I don't need to go to an ATM or Bank etc to deposit it and just take a photo and it's in my account within a couple of days. I should have gone to Starling a long time ago but this is the way to go for the future. Well done Starling! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
