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

Great bank

Great bank, never ever had an issue Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Most accessible bank ever

Starling back is brilliant. It is so easy to access the account and the app is very self-explanatory. I love the saving spaces and how easy it is to transfer money between the spaces, but also to send money to other bank accounts. I've tried two of the online competitors as well but Starling is by far the best! Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Great Bank

I first got this card about 3 years ago to mainly use abroad because we were going to Bulgaria twice a year I was amazed at the savings we made and the fact that I had total control being able to cancel or freeze through the banking app also getting immediate texts of transactions puts your mind at rest, I then recommended it to friends and family. I also do use it at home in the UK. Most of the banks have now followed Starling with these features but it still remains that Starling lead the way Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Banking made simple and awesome

After having issues opening a standard brick and motor current account and being turned down due to not having enough documentation and working abroad making it harder to book appointments I did a quick check online for banks and found starling bank and haven't looked back. How easy opening an account is quick and easy plus the added benefit of having a euro account works in my favour. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

The best bank ever

I switched to Starling because during pandemic Barclays could not open accounts at all. I’m so flat I’d do this because it was the easiest bank app to use Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Obsessed with my bank

It’s completely customer first, and the usability is out of this world. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021
