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

Splendid user friendly

Just superb banking for today’s needs. Can’t wait to use it Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Best fintech bank in the UK

I've been a Starling Bank customer for 3 years and the account has significantly contributed to a more streamlined and efficient banking experience. The instant notifications and onboard card controls are hugely important for me to assist in controlling the security of my account. I absolutely recommend Starling Bank for anyone who believes in professional progressive banking. Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Banking at its finest!

I am delighted with the Starling current account; my particular favourite is the paying-in facilities like Freepost Starling and even better is the facility to pay in cheques via a photo (way ahead of other banking apps!) Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Banking simplicity - and great if you need FX transactions

Been with Starling for a few years - initially for foreign transactions - but the current account app beats other mainstream bank apps I’ve experienced hands down. Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Fantastic

I moved over to Starling around 3 years ago from a high street bank, and boy did I make the right decision! Only once have I had a problem and my gosh did they step up and fix it. Superb customer service, both on the phone and through their chat service within the app. I have recommended them to several friends over the time I have been with them, many have opened accounts, all have loved them. 10/10 all round Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Flawless digital banking

Moved my main current account to Starling over 2 years ago and haven’t regretted a single minute. Customer service is exceptional, the app is flawless and safe and the interface is a class leader. Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Absolutely everything you need and not a single piece of clutter more!

Have fully switched to Starling a few months ago, and God I was in for a great ride! It's helped me manage my finances a lot better and everything just works. Everything makes sense in the app or online banking, there's no more juggling between a million links that you will never click just to check your direct debits. Everything's just spot-on!
