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

Always friendly and helpful on the phone and never a long wait to speak to anyone. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

It is just seamless

It is seamless. Very simple and intuitive app. Evolving slowly but surely over time. So, I have time to learn and often benefit from introduced features. Very clear and enjoyable communication. No revolutionary changes so I don't feel lost as a user. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Unhelpful customer service agents, disappointing app

I reported a bug in the app but because I couldn't recreate it consistently, my request for the bank to investigate and fix it was dismissed -- in my view, unfairly. Also, the set of transactions tags is fixed, and many of my transactions do not have a corresponding tag. This sort of thing is a reason why you would use a bank like Starling in the first place, so it's quite disappointing. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Starling offer excellent service, a great and genuinely useful app for managing money and budgeting with innovative tools and easy UI, and most importantly they aren’t an Evil Corporation like the other big names. Their climate-friendly and ethical investment policies and ethos are second to none. I recommend them to everyone I know, especially those who are still with the big E-Corps!
