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

Until now I find Sterling Bank perfectly able to replace any other Bank service I have received from the old traditional banks,who by the way,do not receive anymore people at the branches as before,all this,but cheaper Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

This is how online banks should be

A benchmark for all online banks. Simple yet effective graphics easy to follow and not overloaded with stuff you don’t need. Spaces are a godsend for me for organising my monthly bills, holiday savings and kids. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
