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

Couldn't be more impressed!

I love using Starling. I switched from Santander because I was looking for an ethical bank so Starling's ethics policy appealed to me. The fact that the product and all its features are so easy to use is a huge bonus. I love having instant, easy access to my money and being able to do exactly what I want with it. They also clearly listen to what their customers want and add new services and features that are genuinely useful and easy to get to grips with. The branding is great, I follow Starling on social media and love the informative posts they share too. All round, excellent! Reviewed on: 7th January 2022

Simple, Available and Customer centric
