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

Easy to use, great budgeting!

Starling has simplified my banking and helped me save and understand exactly what my money is doing. I love how easy the app is to use and all the functionality a regular bank doesn't provide, like spaces for savings and bills management and rounding up! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Super Bank

5
I work for a bank and I am embarrassed about how far behind we are compared to Starling. They are outstanding in every way, from their app, to their customer service , to their savings spaces. The only way Starling can improve is by offering more products! They are the best bank I have ever dealt with. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
