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

Timely updates to app to improve standard of service even more. Have recommended Starling to family and friends in the past and would continue to do so. Easy to use and have every confidence in the bank behind the app - I couldn't say that in the past for previous accounts with other banks. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Easy

5
Having had to find a new account after my previous bank announced its intention to close current accounts I wanted an account with a bank not necessarily one of the usual ones. My friend had a Starling Bank account and was very enthusiastic but also tech savvy which I am not. However, the process of opening the account was very straightforward and well supported and I managed it and I am now very happy with my current account. Also some interest is added each month so my every day money is earning a little too. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
