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

Extremely user friendly app

Moved from Nationwide and first direct as apps weren't user friendly enough. Starling app is great. Love the saving spaces, moving money features and security processes really quick and user friendly... Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Amazing App

This bank is awesome, you don't have to go to a branch to open, it's quick and easy online, you can do everything you need in seconds, so pleased I signed up. Absolutely brilliant idea for next gen banking. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Easy to use

The way it’s laid out makes it easy to keep track of my account , easier and more encouraging to save , like the way it tells me what and when a payment has either been made or away to come out of my account , my son is now saving better with his new account , Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Support the Family

Brilliant service and support by an experienced team. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

A Bank for the Customer.

I have had this bank for a while now. The overriding experience is a lot better to be able to chat to someone remotely as well as a friendly call if they need to chat. The savings goals are a massive game changer for me as it allows me to budget and stick to it. This bank is for the people, which is why I believe it’s the bank of the future and maybe one day be right up there with yesterday’s top 4 Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Best online bank

I love Starling online banking. It’s very easy to use. You can phone also anytime to speak to to someone if you need help. It’s brilliant to take abroad, as they don’t charge you for the exchange rate. The spaces for your savings is such a great idea and so simple to set up. They advise you immediately on your mobile phone on any transactions. It’s simply the best. I would recommend everyone has a starling card. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Simple, Responsive, Accessible and I feel in control

MY bank at MY fingertips, I just love the simple way I can deal with my money. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

A no brainer

It's ethical, simple to use, and doesn't bombard you with a zillion other products or gimmicks. Love the spaces function for savings pots which helps to budget my finances and ensure I have rainy day money as well as project goals. Love it! Reviewed on: 17th April 2021
