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

Great app with lots of features

5
Love the app, helps track spending, easy to set up payments compared with other banks I've used in the past. Also love the Spaces feature which allows me to set up pots for savings and also Kite Card Space for my son which is helping me teach him about money and savings. All round great experience.
