Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
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

Excellent Bank

For ease of use and account visibility, I think Starling is hard to beat. Would be good if they added a credit card facility to its line of products, as now, I’d like everything under one roof. Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Best bank I've ever been with!

When I first started with Starking they weren't very broad with their options, but still kept you abreast of what they were doing completely transparently, yet over the past few years they have adapted to keep up with their competitors every step of the way and often outdone them at their own game!
