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

Fantastic banking experience

I really love Starling bank and have recommended it to lots of friends. I like being notified instantly of my spending and being able to control my card. The app is also great and has so many useful features like spaces to save, connected cards, money request links and spending tracking. It makes it must easier to keep track of my money.
