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

Fantastic and easy to use

5
Its simple and easy to use. Asks you to verify payments and also refunds if payments that do not go through properly. App is simple and easy to use but i especially like the spacers so you can pay bills out of them, save money and know what money you have left until your next ay day. Transferring money is easy too in just a few clicks. Just brilliant. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

A modern banking app that is so easy to use and manage money -

Has helped me manage my money because its easy to check balance (vs high street banks that make it such a pain to log in), I can easily save money for specific things - but transfer that money back if required, and has a very simple interface Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
