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

Fabulous

I always know where I am with my finances with Starling and I just love the Spaces! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Easy to use Bank

I like how easy to use. Pay or request money. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

It works

I have used starling for 4 years and have had no problems. This bank just works with no fuss Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Best neo-bank of several I tried

As an early adopter and tech geek, I have tried several digital bank offerings, used them and compared experiences. Starling simply stands out: - with consistency and reliability, never disappointing, always meeting expectations, and often exceeding them. - with ever-increasing range of offerings, always innovating and bringing new features, functionalities and services. - with super-friendly service, excellent customer experience and imaginative, youthful marketing face and interaction style. For those who haven't tried it: this is NOT a colourful funky app, not simply a payment card in your phone (like most of the other 'fintechs' - it is a REAL BANK, with everything you'd expect from the old established ones, but much better service and experience. Highly recommended! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

The very best

I have dealings with a number of banks - Starling is by far the best in terms of facilities, contactability and ease of use. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Never had an issue, user friendly, ease of use!

Ive found the app and card brilliant. Never had any problems when using and find it super easy to learn more about more features etc. The murmur is also a brill idea! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

The easiest banking ever

There isn't anything I dislike or have issues with. Using the card abroad (when I am allowed to travel) sending money abroad, paying in cheques, being able to earmark and keep money separate in the same account, immediate text when money comes in or out of my account and so on is brilliant and I feel in control! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Excellent for travel

When the world was a normal place this was my travel account, very safe and secure with good rates Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Simple and easy

The app is very easy to use. Having euro account is another bonus too. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Good looking and easy to work

Ideal bank for saving and getting the best travel rates when your abroad. Very user friendly app. Love how you can lock your card from the app if it's lost or stolen Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
