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

The no problem bank

Since I joined I have had no problems Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Raising My Spending Awareness

I've only been with Starling a few months and at first I found the app wasn't quite as straight forward to use as I'd hoped but actually having taken some time to look around it and with some recent updates it's a fantastic tool. The categorising my spending (yes some of my other banking apps do that but not very well) is so easy to use and I love spaces! I have been needing a tool like this so badly and the Starling spaces are so easy to create, set goals and manage. I would recommend Starling to anyone considering changing, or even if you're not considering changing, consider looking at Starling as a better way to bank. High street banks have always been a thorn in my side, maybe I've just been with the wrong ones but they're so far behind with apps and online platforms it hurts. Now I am aware of how I spend my money and the Starling app encourages me to manage it better. I have never had to contact customer service so I cannot speak to this but hopefully if I ever do have reason to that will be as easy and as pleasant as using the app, or website is.

Bank in your pocket!

Best banking access through easy to use app. Auto SMS notification of every transaction. Not many people will need more than this bank provides. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Very impressive

It does all I expect of a bank account and is really easy and intuitive to use. The few times I have needed support, it has been provided. Notifications are very fast. Great service Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Brilliant

Transferred smoothly and I’ve been more than pleased with the way I can control everything on their superb app. They have thought of everything and keep me informed of what’s going on in my accounts so no going overdrawn. Fantastic Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Real good

This is probably the best online bank account Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Easy and Convenient

After being with Lloydstsb for years who were not interested in upgrading my account so I could have a cashless account I switched to Starling and haven't looked back. The app is so handy. You can set aside "spaces" to save money. Download statements and much more. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021
