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

Great bank with no travel fees.

Brilliant, easy banking!

Such an easy online process to get my new account set up. Easy to put aside money for a rainy day and seeing my spending habits has really helped as well. On top of this, it’s a sustainable and eco friendly bank which I love! Reviewed on: 16th January 2022
