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

Starling bank made my daily banking so much easier and efficient.

Getting statements is much more easier than having to go to a bank. Starling bank eases my busy life. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Light banking with customer support at hand

Starling is quite the new banking to consider for older or traditional banking folks, it's functioning very well with me since last 2 years, had no issues with my account, non counting some of the value products like moving money and expenditures in EU with almost no commission. They respond quite quick if I have a need, might well miss a bit to interact with a bank teller, but is changing and I have to reckon that sooner of later. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

As Tina once said: Simply The Best

I moved to Starling two years ago and have never regretted it. Banking is so effortless, the app is so simple to use, and they constantly add features that have genuinely been thought through and added with the customer in mind. The new Bills Manager space is genius. They are, quite simply, the best. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Better then the rest. Up to date with todays tech

Compared to other banks, this is far superior for the digital world we live in. The flexibility of devices that can be used with Starling is great. I switched from rbs for my garmin watch payment to work. Many popular banks are far behind Starling and stuck on Google pay. Starling supports other devices also. Fit it pay I believe is another. Best choice I made with regards to banking. The app is slick and well thought out. Its design is trendy with all relevant information you need on your account. Security is high also with its facial and voice recognition. I would say the security is just right. Not like my previous bank where I gave up trying to log in sometimes. Just a note, I don't often write reviews, only rare occasions if I believe it's well deserved. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Reliable, professional, efficient and trusted
