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

Starling bank provides everything you need in an app that is simple to use and very user friendly. It has major advantages like spaces for saving and spaces for paying bills. You can adjust your card contactless limit, stop your card or change your PIN from within the app. In 40 years of experience of banking, it is the easiest and best bank I have ever banked with.
