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

Best Bank I have used

Love the simplicity, yet effectiveness of the mobile banking App. I opened an account to use the zero transaction fees overseas, but soon discovered that this is great bank for regular home UK stuff. I have since opened a Joint Account & a Business Account. My son opened an account too, with a Joint account. He loves it too. I recommend the Starling Bank to many people.

Excellent account for money management

Been with Starling quite a while now having been with a few of 'big banks' and they are by far the most helpful and the app is so easy to use, it really is childs play to manage your money. Once you've organised your finances there's the affiliate companies offering products to Starling customers to further enhance their financial status. Try Starling along side your current account and see the difference for yourself. I never looked back Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
