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

Simple, understandable supportive banking

I love Starling. From the simplicity of the app which has an abundance of features including locking your card or even viewing it if you don't have it with you. The saving spaces which are like little pots and you can have as many as you wish. I specifically like the feature that tells me how much is going into my account the next day. I can see what I've spent on that month too. Starling is a great online bank, it's very supportive, easy to use and I recommend to everyone. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

modern convenient banking with continuous improvement

Have banked with Starling for a two years, and find them so much more up-to-date and convenient than my traditional bank account. App and online services are intuitive and smart, they continually improve and innovate, and I find my linked Euro denominated current account absolutely brilliant for my purposes. Rated them down one start because of minor limitations - can't use the card at my local petrol station (embarrassing when I didn't know and tried), and also no override to enable transfers or payments above their transaction limits. My German Postbank online account lets me change the preset transaction size limits so I can make a 1m Euros payment electronically. My UK bank doesn't let me do this electronically, but forces me to make a written request. From Starling I was forced to make a series of daily payments over a couple of weeks (which they told me was a limitation of their banking licence). Setting aside those minor issues which won't bother most people Starling is the best thing since sliced bread. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Imaginative

Great versatility, easy to use. Best banking service I have ever used. Takes banking to another level providing novel and exciting accessories to enhance and assist you with your daily finances, savings, international transactions etc.. no other financial institution has the same degree of imagination or drive to implement such exciting innovations. This is a trend setting Bank most welcome in the current demise of high street banking. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Easy to use & interest every month

I've loved my move to Starling. So easy to use & I love the spaces feature. Out of sight, but safe & part of the overall balance for some interest each month which is always welcome :-) Reviewed on: 17th April 2021
