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

Easy secure and everything you need from a current account Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Best for foreign travel & the rest

I initially got the Starling Bank current account as I travel to Spain regularly to visit family. I was sick of paying bank foreign currency commission on every card transaction. By happy coincidence Starling turns out to the best account in many other ways, and is always improving. I love it! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent app for newbies

I have enjoyed using the starling bank app. The sign up experience is transparent as you can find out there and very quick too. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Best online banking experience

I am very happy that I switched to Starling. The ease of use of the app makes it so much easier to manage my money. They are always adding features to improve even more and I feel that they genuinely want to be the best they can be. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Simple and secure

I’ve banked with one of the big four uk clearing bank for over 50 years,Starling is so refreshing and easy to use and for me,the zero foreign exchange transaction charges is a game changer-well done! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent bank, very supportive staff and amazing new features that I am excited about.

Best bank I have ever joined. I will be a starling customer for a long time to come. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Best Bank ever!

I honestly can’t rave about this bank enough. I switched my current and business account over to them from Santander and wish I’d done it sooner. These guys really show others how to do it well Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
