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 challenger bank. I went 'full-starling' a few years ago, and would never go back to a traditional bank now. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Lives up to the name Current

5
I moved to Starling because my previous bank did not offer the features modern banking can allow online and especially with an app. My account with Starling has those, reliably and securely, so it’s fair to call its account Current. Starling are also more responsible and sustainable than most banks; an equally important aspect. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Established banks beware

5
I have been with starling for almost 2 years after changing from a major bank who I had been with for 15 years but had become disillusioned with their products. The app is easy to use and has regular feature upgrades, and the use of spaces has transformed the way I allocate my finances. The alerts on my watch often come through to tell me I have spent money before the till has confirmed it. That’s efficiency. I can’t recommend them enough. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
