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

Instant response to all transactions

From the very first day of opening my account, I have experienced a faster response from Starling Bank than any other account I’ve had with other banks over previous years. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Best Decision we made..

My wife and switched and moved our joint account to starling. No hassle. All direct debits switched seamlessly and so much easier to keep an eye on our spending and saving and an app that’s so easy to use I don’t know why we didn’t swap sooner. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Personal banking made easy

Helpful easy to use app and always happy to help Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

It has everything you need, and nothing you don't need...

OK, so it's 'just' a current account, and that shouldn't be rocket science. But the tools in the app make understanding what's going on in your financial world simple, efficient, and illuminating. Add to that well-written and helpful FAQs that make everything crystal clear, and some charming staff, and you have an unbeatable package. And it's free! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Takes the hassle out of banking

Far better than traditional banks. I very rarely need to go to an actual branch so an online bank works well for me. Very clean and simple UI Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
