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

Superb, refreshing, exciting.

This bank is the future. I love the control I get over my finances, and the category views I have to see where I’m spending my money. The new bills manager function is amazing as it lets me set aside my bill payments on pay day and rest assured knowing that what is left in my account is purely mine to spend.

What a great bank

We love Starling Bank. The many features in the app are so useful and what we have wanted for years. So glad they listen to their customers, the other banks are light years behind! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Fantastic, secure, easy to use Mobile banking with great customer service

Having used this bank since 2020 I have never had any issues with weird charges or issues wuith my card. Mr card details compromised in 2021 and with a quick message from my secure app the card was cancelled and a new one with me next day. The app experiance is far better and much qicker than any other banking app I have used and the features it has such as card details online and immediate notifications of spend and transfers makes it easy to keep track of my money. I have 4 kite cards for my kids (£2 each a little steep compared to others) however the can all have thir own app which allows them to manage their spending and its all linked to my account so I can use it for pocket money and rewards as well as emergency money transfers if they get stuck somewhere.
