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

Fantastic bank

Great support and love them! Notifications with everything that happens with your account is a great security feature. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Modern Banking

Most banks seem to be stuck in the past, particularly with their digital services. Starling have genuinely changed the way I even think about banking, and their services are extremely intuitive making the switch completely painless. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Wish I had switched years ago!!!

If you are unsure about changing to bank to Starling - don’t be. I have been a Starling customer for years and only wish I had made the move sooner. Great bank, great customer support, great app and a great overall experience. Nuff said. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

No fuss and no fees

Great bank. Apps superb. Easy to use and set up and no charges. Interest rates very low, would love to see a savings acc work harder. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Time for a change

I wanted to see what something modern would look like, and I like to be self sufficient with my banking - Starling (and their app) allows me to do just that. Quick and easy application and an intuitive app - excellent!! Reviewed on: 6th April 2021
