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

Just so easy.

I find everything so easy, whether it's paying in, drawing out or paying bills,it's just a few taps on the app and you're done. Using it in Europe is easy with very reasonable exchange rates. I find it an easy recommendation. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Easy to use

Great banking made easy with everything working through an app. Easy to set up a Euro account., and no fees. Couldn't do better anywhere else. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Fair, Easy, Helpful

I was worried at first swapping to a bank without any branches but in fact it is way more convenient. Any problems I've had or questions can be answered and dealt with via the app chat from the comfort of you're own home or wherever you like really! Multiple accounts within one app, easy and fair currency exchange, easy to view spending habits, easy to set different piggy banks for saving towards different things. Cash csn still be paid in via the Post Office and that again is more convenient as there is a greater chance you have a Post Office near you than a high street bank branch. All in all excellent experience and I'll never look back. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Simply works!

Does everything a current account should do, instantly, and no annoying hitches. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Better Banking

I switched after a lifetime with my previous bank, because I liked Starlings ethics and transparency. Applying and Switching were super easy, communication was clear, and the online app is extremely user friendly and you can see your spending in real time. What's not too like? Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Starling embraced us when the usual suspects abandoned us...

Barclays, Halifax, Lloyds, Nat West, Nationwide, and Santander, have all deserted our high street. None of them deserved the loyalty of local residents when it came to making new banking arrangements. I decided to look elsewhere when it came to online banking. I have a current account with Starling that meets my needs and customer service isn't patronising. A simple combination, that older generations like myself, understand and appreciate.

Great informative. connected banking

I feel much more in control of my finances since I moved my accounts to Starling Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Super easy and convenient

Recently changed to Starling account, easy swap, straightforward, user friendly app, love it so far! Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Great service and always reliable

since I switched to Starling, during the pandemic, as I was locked out of previous current account twice in different lockdowns by my previous bank, everything has been extremely smooth. High St. banks are over-rated! Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

They don't put a for wrong

Breathe of fresh air and driving others to try to keep up Reviewed on: 17th April 2021
