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

Brilliant easy banking.

I was told about Starling 2 years ago when I was looking for a bank account for myself.I have previously had accounts with Natwest and Halifax so at first I was optimistic about downloading the Starling app and applying through my phone to open an account that potentially would be holding ALL of my money and having my wages paid into.Opening the account was straight forward and tbh tooo easy and after a few days my card arrived and in packaging that was really nice and opening the account with Starling has been one of the best decisions ive ever made because everything is so easy with Starling,I've had NO problems and when I have had an issue and I must say NOT with Starling but other people the issue has been sorted straight away and making contact with customer service really is with the touch of a button and getting a response within minutes.Ive spoke to friends and even people behind me in a shop or post office when they've noticed the card or seen and heard me mention Starling and said how good the account was I had and most my friends are now with Starling and probly joe bloggs who I had a quick convo with about it.Anyway credit where credits due this real time banking account for me is FAULTLESS!!!

Brilliant App

Advised to open an account with Starling Bank by a friend. Simple to set up - simple to use. Great facilities through their APP, and good security. Cannot believe that I can also have a Euro Account, as I have to pay certain bills in Euros. Reviewed on: 31st March 2021

Just the best bank I've ever used

Every aspect of the business is easy to navigate. Reviewed on: 31st March 2021
