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

Simplicity

Since I've had my account I've found it simple to operate, with simple and easy operations of all the facilities that I need, including sending money and receiving funds,pay with phone combined with Google app and simply keep on top of my funds and balance, real time notifications and can simply talk to staff if needed Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

New customer service

I recently joined sterling Bank. I found them welcoming and easy to use and not too much sales pressure Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Personalised - easy to use - slick

New to this bank - really lovely platform to work with - designed with the user in mind. Easy to sign up / switch accounts - just wished there was a savings and investments arm! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Simple & responsive

Easy to set up, Starling team responded quickly to a couple of questions. App simple, works well and much better than othe banking apps I have used. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

No other banking platform comes close

Ease of use, A* customer service, Spaces feature has been a lifesaver Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent first year

Transferred from first direct due to their poor treatment of me. The transfer was seamless and banking has been problem free. My occasional 'chats' to address queries have been addressed quickly so overall I a am very satisfied. To make it perfect a sensible interest rate on funds would be welcomed. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

First Class Banking

Since opening my Account with Starling l have found managing the Account very easy and very safe and would have no hesitation of recommending them to Family and Friends that need the same experience l have enjoyed. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

User friendly

I moved from traditional banking to Starling a year ago and it just works so well! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

The best, bar none

I've used multiple other banks including challenger banks like Monzo. Nothing comes close to Starling. Completely customer centric which is unlike every legacy bank. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Makes banking easy

It’s great as a travel card and for every day banking. All I need and easy to use. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
