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

Starling Bank created different Spaces to keep money in your account to meet different life goals without you mistakenly spending. It helps to save for the future plans. I really love that aspect about them. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Banking done Right!

My title says it all. Simple to use, very clear instructions and feels very secure. Love it. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Brilliant

Brilliant. The security is great, multilayer and not to complicated or restrictive. The app is well laid out, it's easy to see what's going on. The notifications are great, no more checking the bank as the app let's you know what's going on. Card controls are great. Customer service where quick to answer my questions as well. Took 1 and half working days get the account setup, and the bank cards can 2 days later. Just brilliant. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

It’s great to visualise your spending. As this helps you prevent overspending. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021
