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

So simplistic and your totally in control of your money

I have all control over my account and money, and it’s generally was so easy to set up and use. Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

Easy and accessible!

My Starling account was easy to set up, easy to manage and safe to use. I love the extra app checks when spending money online. My money has never felt so safe! Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

Best banking experience of my life

From the moment I applied for my account, everything has been easy. I love everything about banking with Starling, and also enjoyed reading Banking On It which helped me see the background of how this all got started. My friends who bank with Starling all agree that they LOVE banking here. I can't imagine ever leaving this bank. I love the instant nature of payments, and the gorgeous notification sound when income lands! Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

Great app, never had to call customer support

Everything is automated including the sign up process, the app provides all the information you need, because of the lack of people, everything gets sorted out quickly and the foreign exchange rate is amazing. Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

Always Excellent

Customer service is quick and very helpful. App is easy to use and the Euro current account is really useful to have. Good for use abroad too, when travel was still a thing. Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

Top bank!!!

Starling is the kind of banking I’ve been dreaming off. It’s helped me budget and create a number of saving spaces to stay out of debt. It makes all the other banks look dated. Well done Starling… keep up the good work. Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

Clear and user friendly

I love this bank, it’s really straightforward to use and the app is brilliant. It’s made saving really easy for me and I really like how you can have different spaces for saving money. Would highly recommend! Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

Amazing app

Great customer service, fantastic easy to use app. Brilliant all round. Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

Easy and Awesome

Account easy to set up, easy to use and a welcome change to the old fashioned ways of traditional banks. Easy to use abroad and without hidden fees. Have already recommended to others who have joined. Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

Easy to use with great features

Round-ups, bills spaces and a simple to use app make it well worth the switch from a traditional bank. Reviewed on: 14th January 2022
