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

Pensioner keeping up with young.

Even before Covid-19, I had watched the family flashing their contactless cards with curiosity, tinged with envy at the instant record of transactions. The amazing convenience, and added safety in Covid, added to the rationale. I read reports in the financial columns about Starling, and preferred the accounts to other Banks. If think my choice of Starling is better than the choices of my kids. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Best bank ever!

I been with few banks in my life, before, but never had such a great experience with any of them. Starling makes banking easy and understandable so you can manage your money more consciously. I never felt so in control of my money. I don't have much money, so it is very important to me that I can manage it sensibly and easily control my spending. At the moment I have a current account and Kite for my child, but will also be using business account in the future. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021
