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

Every 20 years a new upstart gets it right.

Back in the day the birth of telephone banking was followed by Internet banks. EGG, IF bank etc was born they got it right, they understood customers, big threat to bricks branches. Instead of the big banks improving they purchased the upstarts and destroyed them. Starling reminded me of these days and I voted with my money and left the bank I was forced to be with. Excellent bank, no issues, partner followed me after a bad experience with her bank of 30 years. She now tells people to join starling. We have joint account linked too. Daughter has emergency card we can drop money in for her. Excellent all round bank. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021
