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

Simple and efficient

Starling app and services makes financial life so much easier than the High Street bank that I moved from! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

So easy and accurate...

Starling Bank, easy and accurate so different from their 'high street' grandparents. Online banks have a poor reputation if you need to speak to a 'real' person, not this bank, even in a pandemic. Well done. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Starling Banking Is Brilliant

Banking with Starling is straight-forward, easy, reliable and fast, and does all I need, especially when abroad, Excellent mobile phone app. I like that it has not tried to get into so many other activities and subsequent promotions/advertising of things I don't need. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

They are amazing

I switched all my banking over to Starling 5 years ago from Barclays and it was the best decision I ever made. I've not had 1 issue in those 5 years, the customer service is brilliant, the app is perfect and they're always on. Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
