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

Super easy account to use and customise

5
Love the Starling Bank current account. You can set up separate fund rooms so that you can allocate money to them to save up for something. You can categorise your spending so you can see how much you’re spending in any one area. Customer service replies promptly and you can set your own contactless limit with the app. Highly recommended app. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
