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

People-Friendly Banking on the go

5
Straight forward banking with cards and mobile device control, of your banking. The added benefit of a twinned Euro account makes EU travel easy, without the need for foreign exchange costs and delays. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Great App and Kids card

5
Superb app with helpful spaces for setting aside funds. I also have a kids card for my son, can pay his pocket money in and he's in control but I can see what he's spending. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Immediate information on account activity

An absolute transformation from the pedestrian performance of my old fashioned bank accounts. Instant information on what and where I've spent. Really good when traveling in Europe. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021
