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

Best Bank in the UK

Staling Bank makes life more easier in the UK and abroad. Since I live between 3 countries, starling bank saved me so much charges. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Perfect Bank

I'd move from Australia to the UK and I couldn't not believe how slow the big banks operated here. I was quoted a minimum of 3 days to open up a normal debit account which was unheard of. After the attempting the other neobanks who had horrible customer service I started researching further. Luckily enough on my research I stumbled across Starling Bank and I had an account within 2 hours. The user experience was friendly and the user interface was even better!! Support teams were extremely helpful! I am extremely happy that Starling Bank exists and I hope it keeps the rest of the competition on its toes whilst it continues to grow in the market as the potential is evident !! Thank you Starling Bank ! Reviewed on: 6th April 2021
