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

Amazing bank

Since I changed banking to Starling a few years ago I have never looked back. They are without a doubt the best bank I have been with. I love how easy it is to bank with them Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Excellent bank

Great app! Happy that they've also created an online website as it makes downloading statements easier (only reason I use it). App makes both budgeting and saving much easier than with any other bank I've been with. Good customers service that is easy to reach. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Best bank ever

I've been banking in the US, Asia and Europe for a lot of time... Starling is by far the simplest, best and most efficient bank ever created! Truly user-friendly and innovation from the grounds up on how a bank in 2021 should be! Congrats! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Great bank, I love the idea of secure banking online, having been hit in the past.

That only down side for me is you can only pay in at the Post office. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Simplifying The Uncomplicated.

Life's daily frustrations increasingly present us with a myriad of trials and tribulations, less of the latter of late, and each heightened by the social upheaval that covid 19 has brought and the government's response to the same. The waiting in queues, waiting on the telephone, waiting to see loved ones, waiting for responses and answers to questions, and listening to the covid excuses. The Starling Bank experience on the other hand, and in comparison, has gone a long way to alleviating this frustration. Seamless interaction, on the fly control and little if any delay. Think, act, done, if only life in general was like this. It's refreshing to have a service designed and moulded to meet the client's needs. And there's a great "quid pro quo" feel about the whole experience which is how every social interaction should be. By the way, I never ever write or leave reviews so well done Starling, keep up the good work! DeniM Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
