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

Easiest bank account to setup and use

For me starling has to have the easiest bank account to setup and use than anyone else. The experience has been great since day one which I’ve had now for over 4 years Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Just brilliant

The app is superb. I’ve never had to phone them. Literally everything I could want to do, overdraft, paying in cheques, queries, savings account etc is all done through the app. So good. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Changed our whole management of money

Having struggled to save any money each month Starling has change our life. Cashing cheques through the app, depositing money at the post office and real time updates of bills and payments has enabled us to manage our finances and start to save. The ability to set up little saving pots too is a great way to split what we save towards different goals. I have now moved all of my accounts to Starling and wouldn’t consider anyone else Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Excellent bank for instant visibility of income and expenditure.

My wife and I have a joint account and so I can see instantly when she has spent money. (Ha ha!) Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Easy banking

I originally started a Starling account so that I could use Google Pay (my bank wasn’t supporting this service) and I’m blown away by how good Starling is! I love the “Spaces” feature where I can save money for various things in nice easy to see pots. I also think the round up feature is brilliant for saving without you noticing. Superb bank for saving!
