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 amazing bank

I had watched the adverts on TV and was completely convinced that I should join the revolution, I did and have not looked back. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

A Five Star Product

During the Covid19 pandemic my Starling debit card has been much used and it’s so easy to keep track of your spending and see where your money goes by using their online services which are clear and easy to follow. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

User Friendly

Starling Bank is so user friendly, quick and easy, when making a contactless purchase with my Apple Watch, I have my acknowledgment of the transaction from Starling before the receipt is printed by the the merchant, how cool is that. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Love this bank!

Starling makes banking so easy. I can easily see my balance, I know immediately when a payment has gone through, and it’s just so easy to set up saving pots, and move money around. I particularly love the Nearby Payments function. If my friend pays the bill at the restaurant, I can quickly zip the money over to her while we’re sitting there. No messing with splitting the bill. So fast and so easy! Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Putting my money in order

Having the spaces for each pot I would like to save for alongside my child’s bank account keeps things clear and simple for me and encourages me to keep saving little and often to achieve my saving goals Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Great bank.

Great bank, not had any bother at all. Love the app, give you clear indication of where your money is come form and going too. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Sleek and reliable

I have set up a Starling account a few years ago and did not regret it. I enjoy using clever things like the Space where I saved up £800 with the rounding function. The app is so user friendly, it’s so much more enjoyable to do internet banking with Starling than with the old school high street banks who are so behind in terms of keeping up with 21st century demand. Thoroughly recommended. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Great bank

So easy to use with great features! Reviewed on: 17th April 2021
