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

Easiest 21st century banking

5
Living fairly remote and not ever having to travel miles to get to a bank is why I originally switched. I have been with starling for almost a year, and have been extremely impressed with everything they have done and continue to do. Their customer service is fantastic too!

Life Changing Current Account

I love the spaces for goal setting and the ease of making payments. I also love that I can see how much I have sent to regular payees over a period of time. It has revolutionised my finances. For the first time ever (I am now 60) I feel as if I am successfully managing my money. Thank you Starling. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Convenient, efficient & excellent app

5
I'm so impressed with Starling Bank. I had been looking for a convenient way to save 'pots' of money and this does that and so much more. It is so easy to use - even for a tech-challenged person like me, and I was seriously impressed that I could pay in a cheque from my own home! Thank you! Reviewed on: 18th April 2021
