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

Easy Banking

Love the fact that I am notified every time that a deposit and withdrawal is made on the account with the ability to attach a note or photo/receipt. Really helps keep track of my accounts. Reviewed on: 12th April 2021

Best bank ever

Having banked with a variety of banks over the years I can honestly say that the folks at Starling are second to none. Whenever I've had an issue there are all over it, to resolve the problem and always keeping me updated. Can't recommend enough. Reviewed on: 12th April 2021
