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

Clear, feature rich account.

I set-up my account in seconds, there banking app is really clear and easy to use, but has lots of really useful features. I've been with them fir nearly tree years, but I've only had to contact customer service twice in period. When I did my query was solved withing a few minutes. Compared to my old high street bank, they just make everything easy. Reviewed on: 6th January 2022
