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 current account you would ever need

My experience with the bank is great and they provide everything you’ll ever need. Excellent current account experience. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Top Bank

I used to change banks every couple of years, taking advantage of cashback offers. No interest in changing anymore. Starling does everything I need. Great bank Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Clear, easy and safe

My banking needs are few and uncomplicated, but security and ease of use are key. Starling scores really well on both of those. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Makes banking quick and easy

Heard a lot about these new fun tech banks and wanted to see what the fuss was all about. And I have to say I am very impressed with starling by especially compared to the high street bank I’m with now and others I have been with in the past. The app is incredibly easy and fast to use. Other banking apps have always slow and cumbersome but starling’s is so fluid and quick. Payments taken or sent, received etc all happen in real time and can be used straight away unlike other banks where you have to wait several hours. I never thought I would bank solely with an online bank but I’m definitely considering using the switching service soon to make it my main bank account. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Outstanding bank

The best bank I have ever known. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Easy and safe access to my accountt

Like the App, easy to use, great space to move money into to save for something particular (perhaps some interest would be nice), but maybe not while the interest rate is so low! Reviewed on: 30th March 2021
