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

Mostly seamless in every way – a really easy and practical way to bank. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Brilliant Starling

Leaves high street banks way way behind…..brilliant!! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great features and good customer approach

Have been with Starling for 2.5 years and had a great experience with them so far. Had to reach out to the Customer Service a couple of times (including about stolen phone and card) and they were very quick, helpful and friendly. One of my favourite features (that I now can't imagine a bank without) are their "Spaces" option. It immensely helps me with budgeting and managing my finaces/bills for the month.

I can now sleep peacefully !

Having Starling has absolutely changed my life . For the first time I can honestly say I am in control of my finances and ....sleep better ! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Easier, efficient banking

Having banked elsewhere, I was disappointed with the customer service, I often got locked our of the app and it was terribly slow. Starling bank app is so much more efficient and perfect to use and its easier to manage your spending and using the saving cells too. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great banking experience with them, as they response...

Great banking experience with them, as they response to my concerns in real time and act swiftly to solve all concerns. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

A great Bank at every level.

Right from the start Starling have proved to me that they are totally the bank that they promised to be; the level of 'hands on' that i can now experience in looking after and being informed of my finances is quite extraordinary compared to the traditional high Street bank I was previously working with. I have recommended Starling to my family members and have never regretted changing over to them. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great so speak to a person

If ever i have a question , I just call and get an answer straight away from a person , not troll through page after page of commonly asked questions and none of them answer my particular issue Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
