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

Efficient, easy, convenient

This is the easiest account to use, notifications every time there is a transaction, kid safe and promotes saving. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Ease of use, best and most intuitive app! Amazing Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Perfect bank account for me

I have had my Starling account for a couple of years and have never had cause to consider changing. Support is always prompt and helpful. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Excellent Bank

Opened account all remotely and I am generally useless at tech, Al went smoothly and I am finding the app functional and everything I need. Response to a password problem was around 3 hrs and hassle free, so all good, keep it up. Probably the best bank you can use online. Actually, I use it over my high Street account and will continue to do so. Queries are responded to swiftly and politely. No fees abroad, track your spending etc. Good for crypto also. Overall 5 stars. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Best bank on the market

Responsive, professional, secure and easy! What banking should be. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Best current account I have ever had

I had been with a major high street bank for about 13 years. They were my main bank account. Then I joined starling and wow, It was an awakening. Took me about a month to shift and start using Starling as my main account. Since then, it has been 3 years and banking has never been this easy, straightforward and hassle free. Thank you Starling!

Simple, fuss-free banking

Banking as it should be. Excellent, easy-to-use app; modern features like instant spend notifications and card controls; simple switching process. No distractions in app, trying to upset to cards and other products. So happy with Starling! Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Probably the best banking app available linked to a highly responsive customer service team make the Starling Bank experience hard to beat. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Amazing Bank

Very straight forward sign up process and so simple to use with added security of being able to “turn off” your cards for certain activities keeping it secure. Great for using abroad also and never have to worry about getting money exchanged. Love this bank and would recommend to everyone. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021
