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

A banking revelation!

It redefines user friendly and takes it to a new level. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Saving made easy

This is probably one of the most simplest banking apps I have used and it regularly helps me save money and track my spending. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Banking made easy...

Starling Bank app is very easy to use and allows you to do everything from a few taps. I like the notifications and spend categories dial from Insight and particularly how payments to other is made easy. The Space corner is a great planning tool which allows you to budget for future spend with a smart picture add-on. Attaching receipt and splitting the bill and many other features in all security takes seconds... Starling is now leading the trend in banking and that’s great to see! Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Everything you need

I have a current account, a joint account and a business account with Starling, I love it that much! The functionality is fantastic and they are constantly improving it, taking into account customer feedback. I particularly love that I can see transactions instantly, automatically save money to save spaces and search items. It’s great to have a bank created for the customer’s modern needs. I wish they did a credit card! Customer service has been excellent when I’ve needed support. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021
