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

Banking made really easy

5
Its your everyday expense account. It’s really as simple as my wallet online. Simple and Easy to get onboard and use. No layers, no duplication, no stress. Helps me review the categories of my expenses. I love the ‘My Spaces’ on the app that helps you save inside a space in your account. . It’s the best mobile banking app and service I have experienced for the last 20 years. It has made my other bank accounts redundant. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Great Banking Experience

4
After having lived and worked overseas for a number of years, I thought that moving back to a high street bank would be easy, even though the world was in the middle of a global pandemic. I was wrong. In spite of have BG had a relationship with an offshore branch of a @Big Four” bank, it was impossible to convert that to a regular domestic bank account. So, based on other consumer reviews, we took the plunge with Starling and haven’t looked back. Fantastic app, quick and helpful online responses; everything just works the way it should. Any criticism? Not really, although I would like to see a bit of flexibility regarding small temporary overdrafts (under say 500 pounds) when one has State and Government pensions but limited /no credit history due to having lived overseas for decades. All in all though, a brilliant bank with applied tech that keeps banking simple and straightforward. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
