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

Love the little touches that help. Warning when a bill is going to be paid, the spaces for saving, the emails with expert help and tips to help you manage your money. Love it. Have recommended and wouldn’t change. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Amazing bank!

I switched to Starling as my previous bank didn’t offer great online and phone support, and especially with the Coronavirus and branches being closed, it was very hard to get help. As well as offering 24/7 help, it’s also so easy to apply for an account, all your spending is divided into categories, and the savings spaces are a really neat feature. So impressed with Starling, I got my whole family to switch! Reviewed on: 6th April 2021
