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

Moving my family to also use Starling, simple ways to complete transactions. it does what it says on the tin. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Fantastic service just an app away!

5
Most outgoing payments require me to verify on the app (which I have never had with any other bank), the ability to control my card, and contactless options - all without picking up the phone or using a live chat system! I really can't fault their service at all, I would recommend this bank to anyone and everyone - it is by far the easiest to set up. the app is very user-friendly, it also feels very secure. I finally feel like I am banking with a company that cares about me! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
