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

Very good bank and very good customer service.

I would recommend this bank to everyone Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Modern Banking as it should be.

All transactions are immediate if required. Clear identification enhanced by early notification of both receipts and payments. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Superb customer experience

Superb customer experience and seamless experience of the apps makes it even more amazing Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Great Bank and Great App

I have never looked back since changing from an old fashioned bank to Starling. No more stupid rules, no more worrying about when they were suddenly going to change my accounts, or even just cancel them for no reason and without warning. This is an excellent bank with all the facilities you need from a modern current account, and easily available on your phone and at your fingertips. I've recommended it to several members of my family and they've also opened accounts with Starling. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Everything I need in a current account and more

I switched my personal current account when my previous bank reduced their banking services. This was a blessing in disguise as the features of the Starling account are far superior. The switch went so well that I also switched our joint account. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

So happy I switched

I had been with Halifax for years and although no particular problems I felt they were somewhat old fashioned. Also after years of loyalty there were no rewards and I felt I wanted a change. Starling was recommended and I haven't looked back. The switch process was straight forward also there's always a way to contact someone with the chat option and any queries etc I have had have been dealt with swiftly and efficiently. I have been able to add a child space easily so my little boy has his own account and card. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
