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

Amazing account

5
I have a house in Spain. My bank was charging me and my wife, joint account. 70 euros a year non resident fees. Plus 50 euros to run account for 5 simple service direct debits. The queue to get served was crazy. It cost £20 plus just to send funds to it. Now I do this instantly virtually free. I send euros instantly and at the best rate you will find. I love it and run it all from the app. If you have a property in Europe it will save you a fortune over the years. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
