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

Great bank, tick all the boxes

Starling is a great bank, they have the right approach to a modern and app managed bank. Everything is simple and causes me no issues, I’ve got almost every bank there is and starling is the easiest bank and one I feel proud to have and show off . No other bank I know gives me as much controls and insight, minute I get money or spend it I have a notification. Everyone asks what bank I have and how they can get it it’s amazing.
