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

A bank for everyone

It's so easy to see where your money goes. So easy to save for things you want. So easy to save for your dreams. I love how you get notifications when money goes in or out. Even let's you know when payments are due. Even if someone has tried to take money out but there's not enough in. I love the spaces so you can keep everything together. I just love the account Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Banking and money management as it should be.

Starling's approach to banking is to provide all the real-time information you need to know for using, transferring and tracking your money. Reconciling payments and statements are a thing of the past with live notifications. International Euro transfers and exchanges costs are clear and upfront. Foremost, the service is uncomplicated and avoids the "in your face" approach of its competitors. The app is quick and simple to navigate and is ahead of those of both the high street and fintech offerings. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Use it for everything

So helpful for my own account that I've now got my business, my wife and my joint accounts on Starling too. There are so many little helpful touches that leave you feeling like you've can easily achieve the previously onerous. For any app that would be great, for a bank it is a revelation - why can't banks be like this? Starling is here to show you that they can. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
