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

Best bank I've ever used.

I've used Starling for a couple of years and it is such a pleasure. Before covid we used to travel a fair amount and the ease of using the card abroad made such a difference, we only had to take a small amount of local currency for the initial taxi or coffee then the rest of the trip we used Starling and the better exchange rate. One one occasion my wife's card must have been cloned somewhere but with the instant notification we were able to stop the card immediately. Starling dealt with it really well and all the fraudulent spending was reimbursed quickly. Absolutely brilliant service would recommend to everyone. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Perfect way to manage my money

A great app, spaces prove really inspiring and helpful in getting saving for different things. The only one thing I would like is for the card to work at petrol pumps, as my local service station is pump only, and I have to travel a little further for my fuel. Small gripe though, very happy so far. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021
