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

Absolutely amazing

A 10/10 service after the high street bank scammers a very welcome fresh air from this bank Reviewed on: 6th January 2022

Bank of the future

I've used two high-street banks my entire life and decided to try something new so went with Starling. I genuinely feel like I've been stuck in the past with the banking apps I've been subjected to before Starling. Everything is easy to use, everything is sign posted well, all enquires are answered quickly and it's all just so smooth. There is a nagging wish for a high street branch, but I think that's actually just because it's the norm. I'd recommend Starling to anyone. Reviewed on: 6th January 2022

Totally pleased

Only been with Starling for 4 months, but their innovative app is easy and a joy to use. Reviewed on: 6th January 2022

Awful service

Awful service online chat where you have to relate your self several times to different message handlers Reviewed on: 6th January 2022

Night and Day compared to the useless TSB

Left the TSB after a long relationship when after a year of it issues they were unable to resolve the issue and therefore there were days when I couldn’t access my money without a 2 hour phone rigmarole and that only worked sometimes The difference is stark, paying bills is such a simple and secure process, takes less than a minute and works on all my mobile kit. Hopefully will test out a euro account later this year if we ever get travelling again. The spaces functionality although not necessary for me is a great concept and in different times of my life would have been a bonus. They do regularly communication in an engaging style, unlike the patronising TSB. Very happy Reviewed on: 6th January 2022
