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 does what they say they do and more. If you need the app todo more just let starling know and they sort it. You actually get listened too. Best bank we have ever used. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

A very easy and convenient way of managing money. Easy to check balances, payments and to pay bills. I especially like that you get an audible notification every time money goes in or comes out of your account. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

My go to card

Starling Bank are to me the most up to date and consumer friendly. They offer the best interest rate I’ve had and I love that I can use it abroad without any extra fees, and at a cash line fee less. I use it to purchase any foreign shopping to avoid international fees. Definitely should win the Bank Awards Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent Bank

Simple flexible multi currency.

Having both Sterling amd Euro acvounts is brilliant. The abiiiity to convert between Stirling and Euro is a winner, as is automatic payment in the local currency. I can send exacty the correct amount in Euros direct to my granddaughter's Dutch University knowiing it works reliably and at minimal cost. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
