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

New to the bank I am impressed

I saw an advert for starling online.My old bank locked my account and I was unable to access my funds.I transfers to starling and thing have improved dramatically.The graphical interface on my phone allows me to see where my money goes.and is more secure and will only authorise a payment using biometrics on my I phone.

21st Century banking!

I was once with Nationwide but have also seen family members other bank apps - Starling is head and shoulders above all of them in terms of ... well, pretty much everything. Have recommended a switch to three friends so far and all my family. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Brilliant Banking

Fantastic bank

I have absolutely no problem recommending Starling Bank and have done so to my daughter. I love the easy ways you can put away your own pots of money and round up if you wish, customer service using any method are very quick to respond and I have also come up with some ideas myself to help improve the app which has all been taken on board with a promise to pass on to the relevant department. What other bank does that? Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Great facilities

Starling have fantastic online facilities that make banking via the internet a breeze. I especially like the saving spaces as they provide motivation to save. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Shaking up the industry and doing it right.

I’ve been a Starling customer since launch. There’s never been a moment I’ve regretted it. Customer service is on point, especially on the chat, the app is superb and in contrast I just closed an account with a high street bank and had to spend over 30 minutes on hold. I also like the spaces, round up the change for goals and the Kite account. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021
