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

An easy bank to bank with!

Cutting out the red tape and helping me manage my money easily. They even don’t charge an overdraft fee if I have money in my savings but my current account goes into the red. Simply amazing. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Helpful for saving

Being able to create spaces and set up goals with pictures and names has really helped me. The balance is separate from my normal one, so it's an out of sight, out of mind thing that is super helpful. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021
