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

The perfect current account

I have had accounts with traditional banks and other startups, Starling is by far the best: easy to use and excellent customer service should you require it! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

No problem banking experience

I have been impressed with the functionality and ease of using this banking App. Keep up the good work. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Fabulous all round!!

Great app, easy communication. Recently changed address, my old bank wants me to drive for 40 mins to a branch to change address because they closed the local ones. Starling has been a breath of fresh air and all done online. Even changed my address online. Their online chat was available on a Saturday evening when I had an issue I needed help with urgently. They were amazing!!! Very happy customer. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Brilliant APP and Service

I have been very impressed with the Starling App and service, it deals with all my account needs and operates far better than any othere banking service I have been part of in the past. Strong accent from Starling on Customer Service. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Modern banking at last!

I have both my personal and business bank account with Starling. Finally a bank that operates purely online with excellent features and a modern approach to banking. Keep up the good work Starling. I have no hesitation at all in recommending them; a bank for the future. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

At last bank that dreams are made of!

allows me to manage my finances how I want to; always ahead of me on ideas to make budgeting and saving easier. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Really Friendly Feel

I love the way Starling Bank communicates with me. I never feel 'scolded' or patronised. Their language and userface is intuitive and very easy to use and understand. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Amazing Customer Care

Even though they do not have a physical customer care centre, I never felt the need for it. I had trouble creating my account because of some mismatched documents but a single mail to them helped me get through it. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
