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

Best bank ever

Can’t save enough about how good this bank. From opening an account. The ease of using the app. Showing all your direct debits in one place. The saving spaces are amazing and so helpful. Customer service has been the best from any bank I’ve ever happen. The kite bank for children is also fantastic. Overall the best bank I’ve ever had. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

The easy way to banking

Hi! I signed up with Starling last year as an alternative for keeping track of my shopping and how much I spend and also to try and save. I’m very pleased with the app! It is so fast and reliable! Plus- interest rates low for overdraft, which I was approved straight away! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

21st century banking

Safe, secure, simple. Immediately made me switch from previous older bank. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Great service

Easy to set up, free to use abroad and can set up a euro account (really important for us) what’s not to like! We had an issue with our card being delivered (not Starlings fault) they did what ever they could to help and in the end paid for recorded delivery to see where the issue lay, and our cards arrived! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Love the bank

Love the ease of using the app, great features with dinghy functionality without over complicating. Very happy with the saving spaces and use them a lot to help manage my finances. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

It works

No. Fuss, no mess , does what it says on the tin. All those advertising slogans fit Starling. The current account makes it all so quick and easy, if I forget my PIN I can check it, as I have needed to during lockdown and with ApplePay it isn’t needed or used as often as it used to be. I also have full confidence as I am informed as soon as money goes out. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Unbelievable

Best service I have had from any bank I was ever with Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Brilliant bank
