Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
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

The early bird......

Starling is the best bank I have ever been part of......I am one of the few who has changed banks many times. Starling make it so easy. They tell me about transactions expected in the next day or two, they tell me of any activity immediately, and all of it so easy to use. The early bird caught this worm and I am hooked!
