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

I've been with starling ba k over a year now and everything is great it's easy too use. Simple too navigate and I've also got my children accounts as they have come of age. Brilliant wouldn't use any other bank. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Why can't ALL old style banks......

I don't understand why ALL the old style banks can't learn lessons from Starling. Such as..... With Starling, if I forget my PIN (which is unlikely as they allowed me to choose it when ordering the card!!!!) it takes 1 fingerprint to open the app, 2 clicks to get to the right menu item and another fingerprint to pass the double-secured reminder. Time taken approx 15 SECONDS. The last time I had to get a PIN reminder from my old style banks (TSB) it took me OVER A WEEK to get the letter through the post! I travel a lot. With Starling, I can exchange the exact amount I need, in a few clicks, To/From whichever currencies I want to! Clearly visible is the TINY charge. I can then go ahead and buy in the local currency, no overseas fees, no non-sterling transaction fees and no FX FEES over the TINY charge I was made aware of up front!!!! There are SO many ways in which I prefer Starling. I hope these two small but BRILLIANT examples helps you see why. I'm a disabled ex-military veteran and all of these little ways to help really do add up. My memory isn't what it was, so the PIN reminder is great. And, I live on a fixed income with a War Disablement Pension, so I can't afford to waste money. Starling, you're MY NUMBER ONE BANK OF THE YEAR. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
