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

So simple

Love the way you can set up spaces for saving without having to set up loads of separate accounts and so easy to do. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

So Simple, so Clear

My partner and I recently transferred our joint account to Starling and we love it. It is so easy to make payments from the sofa on my phone and I can see what my partner has spent straight away so no surprises. We decided to switch due to Which report on security features.

Ideal international bank

Starling is an ideal international bank account, its well organised and you can use it to cash and money for free across the world it’s great, but I wish they would remove the conversion fee between pounds and euro. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
