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

Banking made easy

Love my Starling bank account. The app is so straightforward and user friendly, I would recommend it to anyone. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Hassle-free smart banking

I have opened an account with Starling as a secondary account along with my “High-Street Brand” bank account, and now I prefer to use my starling account rather than my main one. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Excellent

Delighted with Starling Bank. I have children who live abroad so frequent foreign trips (when allowed!) and Starling is the perfect travel companion. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Pretty nice app

Easy to use, friendly app, feel safe using this bank Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Best bank out there

Never needed to go into a branch with Starling. Secure controls on my card if I ever lose it. Excellent views into my spending habits. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Great Bank I can trust

They are great, and seem to be one of the more advanced banks for this time. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Excellent, flexible service that meets needs

Very impressed by the flexibility and access options available. Was a bit unsure about a bank with no physical presence, but being able to control my account from my phone E.g. lock card, etc, be notified of activity immediately, and even the simplicity through which I can find and share bank details is great and avoids needless long searches or waits on hold as I have found with legacy banks. It's generally free, easy to use, and not full of ads for services - as it should be for a current account. I would give it 10 stars for recommendation, but I do wish it were easier to pay in cheques over 500 pounds, maybe at the post office? And, sometimes there is a bit of wait through the chat system in getting feedback on a query, which means I miss the agent's reply as I have put my phone down (But at least the service is offered in app). Glad I signed up, it works well for me. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Tremendous Bank!

Easy to set up, easy to use & the App is a doddle to navigate - I love the way I can set up saving ‘spaces’ in an instant & see them all in one place. Already recommended it to family/friends/business contacts! Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Best UK Bank.

Full banking services with no fees for managing your cash and a very friendly mobile application. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Impressive and generous

It's an excellent online bank, app works fantastically, breakdown of expenses, euro account and great for overseas ATM withdrawals. It's my most favourite bank of all. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021
